Hello guys,
Had this very fresh presumed LBBG in Feurteventura, Canary Islands last week. Maybe a high northern breeder? Any way to tell if it is an intermedius? I had small numbers of both adult graellsi and intermedius and one possible adult Fuscus (beautiful, small, long winged bird) no ring however.
YLG photos next week.

Thanks

Hi derek,
It indeed is very fresh, and probably a bird from more northern latitudes. However, juveniles can not safely assigned to any of the LBBG subspecies, unfortunately...
Nice images anyway, looking foreward to those ylg!

Cheers, Mars
