inner primaries in LBBG
Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 5:35 pm
Yesterday, Y.ARX was present. A recently fledged graellsii (or "Dutch intergrade" as you like it), which look quite normal in all respects. Still, the inner primaries look somewhat pale on the innerwebs, and the innermost primaries look somewhat paler, even on the outerwebs.
The inner primaries of course are often taken as a first indication to ID this taxon. Maybe good to add a compilation at this forum, of LBBG with paler looking inner primaries to illustrate the variation; so if you have images, showing it even more obvious, please add them here. I'll try to check more of such birds at IJmuiden.
