Another Headless Bird

[Grousemore]

I wonder if anyone can ID this bird?

[birdman]

I'll take a stab at female Reed Bunting.

[CJW]

Redpoll? Nah....Dunnock?......Gropper?........

[Michael Frankis]

I'll go for Dunnock

Michael

[satrow]

Dunnock?

Andy.

[Grousemore]

No correct answer posted as yet;will issue a clue a bit later,if necessary, when others have had a look,but it was taken in England today.

[tom tams]

I'll try Female Yellowhammer

[Bluetail]

Oh dear, I'm hopeless at mystery photos, but I'd say Meadow Pipit.

I must admit that my first impression was Dunnock but how about Linnet? My next stab would be Meadow Pipit.

[Larry Lade]

Corn Bunting?

Larry

[Darrell Clegg]

I'll go with Yellowhammer too

Darrell

[satrow]

Cirl Bunting?

Andy.

[Jane Turner]

I was going to say that :(

Looks like a bunting and the mantle looks quite rusty. I thought Reed Bunt till I saw it had been ruuled out.

[Grousemore]

Still no correct answer.....normally my mystery pics are solved in 2 minutes flat!

Here's another shot of same bird:

[CJW]

It's a bloody Twite.
Dammit.

[Reader]

I must admit I thought of Twite then dismissed it due to London being the location so that put me onto Linnet. Oh well, I should have stuck with my gut reaction (unless we are all still wrong)

[Grousemore]

Well done,CJW,Twite it is.
Seen today at Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire;a 1W female.

[CJW]

Ha! I KNEW it all along - I was only messing with my first posting.........



Anyone convinced by that?

[Larry Lade]

CJW, I also knew it was a Twite right off! But I did not want to upstage all you natives, me being a foreigner and all!

Does anyone believe that?
