Hi Abdulla,

This may either be a smallish female cachinnans, but the high bill probably better fit to barabensis.
This extensive moult in scapulars and even wing-coverts, shown by birds in December, are not likely birds from the far northern Russian tundra; I would go for birds from the steppe belt.
