wagtail sp. @ San Tin
a very pale wagtail @ San Tin. Is it just a washed out ocularis or lugens (lots of white on the forecrown?
All thoughts welcome.
Cheers
Mike

Could just be an ocularis but the throat and forecrown seem too white and could be a vagrant lugens.

It seems fine for [i]ocularis[/i] to me. The eyestripe looks absolutely typical for [i]ocularis[/i] - very narrow along the entire length, not broadening behind the eye - and it looks like the entire upperparts are grey, including the rump. I think the grey nape and crown would also be unusual for [i]lugens[/i].
