Re: heuglini ??
Just a thought.
Could Antonius 4 first be barabensis on wear and moult in secondaries. Primaries looks fresh except p10. Black markings reach p5, which perhaps would favour heuglini. Seems to be a not fully adult bird, which then possibly have moulted earlier than would a fully adult and therefore maybe heuglini anyway? Structurally not easy to eliminate barabensis, although in the first pic gives impression of being more of a LWHG, meaning somewhat heavier structurally. The more agressive facial look on nr 5 speaks for heuglini.
