The previous post reminded me of this bird. We saw it two days ago (27.11.2012) on the dump of Barneveld, The Netherlands.
- Structure and tongues fits best cachinnans
- Colouration of the bare parts and iris better for michahellis
Anybody a guess?
Cachinnelis?

Re: Cachinnelis?
Not showing in the pictures is the mantle colour, fitting nicely on micha, imo very dark for a cach.
(I was there, too)
