White Wagtail - cambs UK (1 Viewer)

Just confirmation please.
Have I, at last, managed to pick out a white waggie amongst our local pieds?
If I am, then one out of a hundred 'might be's' over the last few years gives me, i reckon, a deserved pat on the back.
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Its probably one - however its a 1st year bird based on the contrast in the greater coverts. With that amount of grey on the flanks, I'd like to see the rump to be sure its not a female Pied. The first whites through are usually sparkingly bright males.
