    Harrier, but Hen or Pallid?

    I wouldn't say you got any 'confirmation' here either way but you should certainly report it, it'd certainly be of interest.

    Harrier, but Hen or Pallid?

    It's a 2cy female, either Pallid or Hen×Pallid hybrid... I think I'd lean towards the latter with that broad wing (esp. hand), although the 5th finger isn't too prominent.

    Odd Wheatear on Paphos last week?

    It might be the quality of the photos but this doesn't strike me as Finsch's. As already mentioned the pp looks too long and the tail band apparently gets broader at either side.

    Warbler, Side, Turkey

    Hi, It certainly could be, but at least I don't know of any safe way to distinguish between the ssp without measurements and/or DNA (except for 'grey morph' fuscus probably). Perhaps others might be more helpful.

    Curruca crassirostris from Egypt?

    It's very clear from the video, and the second still, that the crown is only negligibly paler than the eye-surround, which would be typical for an E Orphean. The suggestion of a pale crown in the first still in OP is obviously an effect of light.

    Passerine in EVOA, Portugal

    Surely a Zitting. Grasshopper W would have fuller undertail coverts and different head structure.

    Curruca crassirostris from Egypt?

    Agreed with Eastern Orphean. Bill too big and 'cap' too dark for any Lesser Whitethroat-type. Many non-adult-male Eastern Orpheans show dark eyes. Hypocolius doesn't have a contrasting white throat, nor a dark cap, so not sure what to say there.

    Identify this pipit

    It's a Tawny Pipit

    Warblers - Samarkand, Uzbekistan

    Both are still Lesser Whitethroats

    Pipit ID. Shirza, Iran

    I doubt coutelli would venture anywhere near SE Asia?

    Wheatear from Oman

    Wings too long, underparts too white.

    Savi's Warbler or Cetti’s Warbler?

    It is a Savi's; throat-streaking and the somewhat strong pattern of the UTCs are both within variation and apparently more regular in ssp. fusca. Also note the more russet coloration and thinner bill than River.

    Different species / Azerbaijan

    Last one looks like Common Chiffchaff to me. Agreed with Alexander Stöhr on rest.

    Which Spotted eagle species? Location: kanwalit, punjab, pakistan

    Wings look broad to me, wouldn't rule out GSE (in fact, I think I'd favor it)

    Warbler 2 - Cyprus

    I was talking about the weblink (post #10) but I didn't notice it was taken in the UK. If it is a CW it has an awfully short primary projection. The OP bird is definitely a Lesser Whitethroat. Sorry about the confusion (and my hasty judgement on the weblink bird)

    Warbler 2 - Cyprus

    It's a Spectacled Warbler (but this has nothing to do with the eye-ring)

    Common or Wood Sandpiper? Near Denpasar, Indonesia

    Wood Sandpiper

    merzouga morocco

    Tree Pipit, note the stout bill with pinkish base

    Harrier - Bulgaria

    Pallid for me. Pale boomerang on primary bases, broad primary barring.

    Reed Bunting's call like Robin's (supposedly)

    The thin calls are indeed Common Reed Bunting, the ticking calls belong to European Robin.

    Pipit in Kyushu, Japan

    (Siberian) Buff-bellied Pipit

    Sand Plovers from Oman, 02/2024

    All look Tibetan to me. Even columbinus GSP tends to show a larger bill with a more prominent bulge and pointed tip. Dark legs and more distinct face pattern also favor TSP. TSP also apparently show feet projection, e.g. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/614380247

    Help with warbler ID in El Rocio, Spain

    Yes, on a second look legs seem sturdier as well 👍

    Help with warbler ID in El Rocio, Spain

    8 looks like 'just' another chiffchaff to me, with an impression of a lateral crown-stripe due to shade

    ID please - Konya, Turkey

    Neither Long-eared nor any other owl in Turkey has a call like this.
