    Harrier question - France

    On a much closer view there's really nothing wrong with primary pattern and primary formula for a Pallid. The p6 (counting from outwards and in from above lacks an emargination, which is present in Hen (which you of course know), and apparently in some hybrids, se pic below, which is from a...

    Harrier question - France

    I would consider a 1cy Pallid x Hen, although I think there are more variation than might be expected. This one, somehow rather similar, was taken by Ola a while ago and was considered to be a hybrid between Pallid and Hen https://artportalen.se/Image/1349786

    Wagtail ID - Belarus

    I agree with Alexander' suggestions here. I think that the the identification of some alba and yarrellii is far from straightforward, meaning that ageing, intergrades might pose a bigger challenge than realized. I think that the Adriaens article highlights some of these problems well. My...

    Wagtail ID - Belarus

    Question is if the bird was considered as dark as it shows up in the pic in the field? When lighten up as shown below this 2cy seems good enough as an alba White Wagtail.
