Hi all,
Got a few photos of some Ortolan/ Grey-necked Buntings from august/september in Khovd, Western Mongolia. Now looking back at it, I get a bit confused on some of them. I have attached a few of them, I feel all these fit Ortolan best except photo 180900441, it could be a female Grey-necked. Bill seems straight, eye-ring clear white, and malar stripe as well. Breast marking is a bit off perhaps, but should be fine on a female? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I unfortunetly didn't get a photo of the mantle
Looking forward to hearing from you
best
Anton
