Hi Rui,

It still is a 1cy LBBG, albeit with largely replaced wing-covert panel. This sometimes happens, already as early as within the colony. We did some research a few years ago to explain this phenomenon; have a look at the 1cy May, June, July sections of ORG:Another lbbg present that day that confused me, can anyone explains what am I seeing regarding moult!!!!!! 1 or 2 cy ?
