    Harrier question - France

    On a much closer view there's really nothing wrong with primary pattern and primary formula for a Pallid. The p6 (counting from outwards and in from above lacks an emargination, which is present in Hen (which you of course know), and apparently in some hybrids, se pic below, which is from a...

    Harrier question - France

    I would consider a 1cy Pallid x Hen, although I think there are more variation than might be expected. This one, somehow rather similar, was taken by Ola a while ago and was considered to be a hybrid between Pallid and Hen https://artportalen.se/Image/1349786

    Larus heuglini Cyprus?

    Hi CJC and all! I was browsing through some old posts the other day and found one of CJC great pic of this Cyprus gull, which as can be seen was identified as most likely a heuglini. However, as can be seen the short p10 toungetip below and it's shape and that the black doesen't reach the...

    Wagtail ID - Belarus

    I agree with Alexander' suggestions here. I think that the the identification of some alba and yarrellii is far from straightforward, meaning that ageing, intergrades might pose a bigger challenge than realized. I think that the Adriaens article highlights some of these problems well. My...

    Wagtail ID - Belarus

    Question is if the bird was considered as dark as it shows up in the pic in the field? When lighten up as shown below this 2cy seems good enough as an alba White Wagtail.

    2 large gulls from Cyprus

    Hi SJC! The 2cy is a fine armenicus. http://www.gull-research.org/armenicus/02cyfebr.html The other might be a subadult barabensis, my best guess. Nice photos as usual JanJ

    Variations in Herring Gull (Larus argentatus vegae) - Japan

    Hi Joseph, You might wanna think of 1cycle 'taimyrensis as a "LBBG" type due to the plumage similarities in greater covert, scapular (2 generation) to mention a few ones. As can be seen in the linked birds below:https://pbase.com/m_muller/taimyrensis https://pbase.com/smiths_1/taimyr_gull JanJ

    Gull - Oman -

    P-robert, compared to your previous pic, the heuglini, notice in the first bird here, the more advanced plumage where a majority of the covert and scapulars are second generation feathers, which is more in line with barabensis. Others as Lou mentioned. JanJ

    Gull - Oman - Mirbat

    The many juvenile coverts and a few scapulars together with structure suggest heuglini. Nice pic! JanJ
