Yes, it is! the 'c' shape on its head is very obvious.

I'd agree that the 'C' is for Citrine Wagtail. However, I'm worried about the black lores and thin white wingbars on the lesser/median coverts. So on the whole, I'd go for Yellow Wagtail for this one. It'd be lovely to hear expert opinion on this (problematic?) juvenile! =)

I would go for Citrine.  Not only the C, but also the lighter colour inside the dark ear covert. Overall, it looks greyer than a normal 1st winter Yellow Wagtail.
