    Pipits from Shaanxi Province

    The middle pipit looks good for Blyth's based on back pattern, weak bill/beak and shape of median coverts and short tail and hindclaw.

    Sri Lanka ID

    The blueish tone are a digital artefact that can be shown in digi-pics when there are strong contrast in daylight. This bird are in shadow wich makes it looks more blue because shadow are grey/blue and the camera strengthen those blue/grey tones.

    Sri Lanka

    I think there are a split here (= used to be a subspecies of Plaintive C., now treated as a full species) called Grey-bellied Cuckoo. Although i'm not aware if Plaintive C. winters in Sri Lanka? (Grey-bellied C. breeds in India and perhaps also in Sri Lanka?)

    need ID Birds Pakistan

    I also think the buzzard gives an impression of being heavy built (feet look thick) and darker trousers combined with that might fit Long-legged Buzzard better than Steppe Buzz. The stint looks spot on Temminick's. About the Wheatear i would like to know how to separate Variable Wh. from Pied...

    ID of these birds please...

    I would say a B and W flycatcher female would have longer wings and the visual primaries are to short on this bird for BaW Fly. Primaries and colour fits Pied Bushchat better IMHO. But i have honestly no excperience of Phillipine birds so it might be some other species than PB.

    Warbler ID - India

    That's good there are consensus here. I honestly got surprised when reading suggestion Whitethroat. But my knowledge of ssp. icterops are limited and i mean nothing negative with being surprised. Just an expression of my mind not being out of order when earlier reading and thinking what others...

    Olivaceous Warbler ?? - Gujarat, India

    Based on leg colour (black) over all shape in bill, head and winglenght (primary projection) i'd go for Chiffchaff. Here are a few pics of EOW; (Note leg colour, flat forehead amongst others) http://www.netfugl.dk/pictures.php?id=listpictures&species_id=667

    Warbler India

    Ok, good to know that AW don't show yellow chest. (i'd forgotten that) and i guess that you "mäkpä" by supercillium mean that AW don't show this long and broad supercill. (?)

    Warbler India

    Looks ok for a Greenish Warbler (long supercillium, wingbar etc). Perhaps the green/yellow tone on chest support ssp. nitidus (?). Edit; on the other hand i just remember Arctic Warbler, but i'm not sure that species occur in India and i can't at the moment remember the features that separate...

    Kestrel or lesser K sweden april 2011

    The spots on the center parts of the back (mantle) excludes Lesser Kestrel (since it's a male bird here) even if it was a 2cy (wich i cant say). If one looks at thumbnail the moustachial stripe looks strong. Common Kestrel for me.

The other week here on Bf there was a...
