    Long-tailed Skua ? France

    I recently (21/8/23) saw this Skua on Lac de Pannecière, France (Morvan) and identified it as long-tailed, struck by its color and a few features such as primary tips and the amount of white on primaries. Nevertheless, the overall jizz of the blying bird and bill shape and coloration brought in...

    Hello, I would appreciate opinions about these plovers seen recently (oct 31/nov 1) on Masirah Island, Oman. photos #2 and #3 are of two different birds seen together, #4 and #5 are of the same bird. I believe 1-3 are Pacific and 4-5 Golden but I have some doubts left...

    Lesser kestrel ? Sardegna

    Hi all, two weeks ago in Sardegna, Stintino (NW) - above the steppe behind the house where I stayed, one kestrel drew my attention as a possible Lesser. I took a few photos before it went a little out of sight and all I could see was it met another one, which I could not see properly - if at...

    LSE ? Salalah, Oman

    Yet again, one bird from february '20 in Salalah, Oman : The bird made a brief close passage (1st pic) and disappeared then flew over at higher altitude (2nd & 3rd). Even though I am a bit puzzled by the clear panel on inner primaries, wing formula, general coloration and the fine barring of...

    Unknown bird - Chunchucmil (Merida) Mexico

    Another terrible long-distance shot against a cloudy sky... I have very little idea of what this could be... It is a bit Kingbird-like but there are no matches in that family. What's more, it is probably smaller in size. No match either in the Vireo family. Any suggestions ? Chunchucmil...

    Pigeon - Teotihuacan, Mexico

    Hi all, again a picture from the archives : a passing pigeon in Teotihuacan, 2011/8/19. Since it is pretty long-tailed and considering the range I would say juv. Band-tailed pigeon but this is a rather desperate guess... Quentin

    Myiarchus Flycatchers - Costa Rica

    I believe all these were taken in Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, northwestern Costa Rica, late february 2016. Are they all Nutting's Flycatchers ?

    Two raptors - Irazu, Costa Rica

    Prompted by recent threads about Costa Rica, I got back into old pics from february '16. These two raptors were seen at Irazu Volcano. I suspect Tiny Hawk for the second one (photos 2 & 3), whereas for the first one I have very little idea. It was flying quite high overhead.

    Marsh warbler ? Neusiedlersee, Austria

    Hello, browsing through old photos I found this one which looks like a good candidate for Acrocephalus palustris to me, although I initially IDed it as reed warbler. What are your thoughts about it ? Neusiedlersee, Austria, august 2018.

    Aquila, Etosha Namibia

    Hello all, can this bird be safely identified ? Judging by its dark eye this is probably Wahlberg's Eagle but can Tawny be excluded ? Thank you, Quentin

    Coucal, Kwando river, Namibia

    Some good old Senegal Coucal or possibly a Coppery-tailed ? It is probably impossible to identify this bird with such a picture, in any case I don't have enough experience with these. Thanks, Quentin Kwando river, Zambezi, Namibia - 29/04/2019

    Purple banded Sunbird ? Kwando river, Namibia

    Hello, another sunbird from my recent trip to Namibia that I am rather unable to identify. The overall dark and green look and the shortish bill could match purple-banded. Any opinions ? Kwando River (Namushasha Lodge), Zambezi, Namibia - 29/04/2019

    Bat Hawk ? Etosha, Namibia

    Hello, here's one of these very distant shots taken during a safari when there is little time nor possibility to get a closer look at some bird. The overall shape, size, the beak shape and the clear throat point towards Bat Hawk to me. Thank you for your opinions on this one ! Quentin

    Sunbird, Etosha NP Namibia

    Here's a quite enigmatic bird to me. A juvenile male quite certainly, it seems to have a full glossy green head. What about this white vent ? Alas, this is the only shot which I have of this bird. Okaukuejo camp in Etosha NP, 22/4/2019.

    Aquilas - Jordan, february

    Hello, here are two aquilas seen over Dana Nature Reserve, Jordan, 26/2/2018. The first one looks like a good candidate for adult GSE to me. As for the second one, it is probably an adult Steppe Eagle (smallish head, mere dark trailing edge, extensive gape). Numerous migrating steppe eagles...
