    VietNam: possible Bunting?

    I found this old photo of a bird at Mang Den, central VietNam. Very poor photo, I know, but the face pattern is fairly clear. Is it a bunting?

    Nam Cat Tien, today

    Is this a Buff-breasted Babbler? It's got a ring on its leg (illegible).

    Nuthatch with yellow bill in Mang Den, VietNam

    It's got a yellow bill, but it doesn't look like a "Yellow-billed Nuthatch" to me. What do you think it is?

    Large gulls in VietNam

    These two gulls were at a high tide roost with Caspian Terns at Tan Thanh beach (Go Cong) on Dec 16th. Poor quality images because of long distance (3000mm lens). They were larger than the Caspian Terns.

    DaLat Flycatcher

    I don't see many blue flycatchers and I'm not up-to-date on nomenclature, so can you tell me the Latin name of this one? Cyornis xxxx? Maps suggest it has to be Indochinese Blue (sumatrensis) in DaLat, but does this name also cover the "old" Tickell's Blue? (I have lightened them in Photoshop...

    Nam Cat Tien, Vietnam

    Sorting through my photos taken earlier this week, here's one I'm still struggling with

    Butterfly in VietNam (Phong Nha, C. Annam, ca 200m asl)

    This is such a striking species - I just haven't been able to match it with anything on the internet!

    Nghe An, northern Vietnam

    I think these 2 photos are the same bird. It looks like a Barwinged Flycatcher-shrike, except for the white OVER the eye, so what is it???

    Flycatcher in Da Lat Vietnam

    Is this an ordinary Asian Brown? It looks a bit dark.

    Bird in Da Lat Vietnam last week

    Here it is. About the size of a Sibia.

    Thrush in DaLat, Vietnam

    I'm guessing this is a White's Thrush rather than a Scaly Thrush because of the indistinct black cheek patch. Is that right? Is there an easier way to tell the difference? THE VIDEO DOES NOT SEEM TO UPLOAD PROPERLY (bird is "frozen" at the 9th second out of 10 seconds)

    Flycatcher in Da Lat (Vietnam)

    Is this just an Asian Brown? I'm not sure what to make of that trace of red on the neck.

    Pipits in VietNam (South Annam)

    Can you help me with these 3 Pipits? I saw A and B together on rice stubble this week and A was obviously bigger with ridiculously long legs. Is A Richards and B Paddyfield? The difference in the throat streaking is very obvious. Photo C was taken on the coast of VietNam today and superficially...

    Ducks in VietNam

    Can anyone ID these ducks on a large sea lake in central VietNam (Lake Tra O)? Nearly a mile away so lots of zoom.

    North VietNam Warbler

    What's this warbler at Mu Cang Chai?

    Gull in North Wales (inland)

    Is this Herring or Lesser Blackbacked (poor photo - long way off). Both species are equally common here as adults.

    Galium Carpet - North Wales?

    Is that right? The central band looks almost purple. (I'm a complete beginner with moths!).

    VietNam Dec2019-Feb2020

    Here's my first Trip Report after 35 annual visits to VietNam! Let me know if you find anything useful. And thanks for all the ID help in the past.

    Welsh Red Kite

    Is this recent (poor) photo good enough to identify a juvenile bird (i.e. born this year)?

    butterflies from VietNam

    I've been struggling with these for weeks and have now given up trying to ID them myself using the internet. These first three are all from the DaLat area and the last from Mang Den (further north near Kon Tum). Can anyone give me a clue?

    Flycatcher in DaLat, VietNam

    Is it possible to ID this Flycatcher from the rather poor photo? I think I can see a whitish throat above the orange upper-chest?

    Yet another VietNam Warbler (Xuan Thuy NP)

    I guess this is just a Dusky Warbler, is it? It was behaving oddly - flitting at 2-3m in a casuarina plantation and calling with a higher "teck" rather than usual low "tuck". The last 2 frames are just to show the amount of cinnamon on the undertail.

    Another Warbler in VietNam

    This was on Mount Lang Bian (1800m) this morning. The common spp here are YBW, Kloss's and Blyth's, but this one has a very white, broad supercilium, especially at the front of the eye (too white for Kloss's which was singing nearby). I thought of Ashy-throated since the wing-bar is quite broad...

    Warbler in VietNam

    Can anyone identify this bird? It was making a chirping call, different from Yellow-browed or Raddes. Location was Mang Den in Central Vietnam highlands, yesterday.

    Nam Cat Tien, VietNam

    I found this terrible old photo from December 1999 (Box Brownie technology in those days). The nearest I can get is Brahminy Kite, but it doesn't look quite right.
