    Thailand, Phu Hin Rong Kla NP - maybe a Blue Rock Thrush or ...?

    I mean, before I commented ! Obivously I identified only birds published at the time I found the thread... :LOL:

    Thailand, Phu Hin Rong Kla NP - maybe a Blue Rock Thrush or ...?

    I wonder where are these photos you are talking about. I see 3 pandoo

    Skylark or not Skylark ?- thats the question

    I'm afraid it is a very regular Alauda arvensis.

    Thailand, Phu Hin Rong Kla NP - maybe a Blue Rock Thrush or ...?

    I'm Valéry. I see 3 photos off all blue individuals, very typical Blue Rockthrush, none with chestnut breast, but seemingly I'm missing something on this publication.

    Thailand, Phu Hin Rong Kla NP - maybe a Blue Rock Thrush or ...?

    I'm not sure why all this discussion, it seems quite obvious to me that is a regular male Monticola solitarius pandoo wintering commonly in Thailand.

    Goa, India - Pipit identification

    No, it is a Paddyfield Pipit IMO, but I wondered why you excluded Tawny. I've seen plenty of Tawny in North Africa and Europe, but never in India although I see many records from other people, so I'm interested to understand why I overlook them or if I'm simply not lucky with this species.

    Goa, India - Pipit identification

    Not a Richard's with dark lores ; the Paddyfield is very common in Goa and India in general. Just a question : how did you exclude Tawny Pipit?

    Cisticola spps - Nairobi National Park

    I've spent 12 years in Africa, I've seen almost all cisticolas, and I can state the opposite. In most cases, visual identification is easy. When I say "in first sight", here, it is just because I consider I might have forgotten one similar species. Last time in Kenya for me was in 2012, quite...

    Mpulanga Province, South Africa, June 2023

    I agree on Grey Tit-Flycatcher Fraseria plumbea

    Cisticola spps - Nairobi National Park

    At first sight, it looks correct to me.

    UK, Horsell Common, Surrey bird call identification

    I would agree with Smiths and consider the Jay here.

    Puntarenas, Costa Rica March 2024

    3 looks like Tawny-winged Woodcreeper Dendrocincla anabatina

    Bird from Sardinia

    This white spot signs a Woodlark.

    Curruca crassirostris from Egypt?

    Hypercolius ? Not sure you wrote it on purpose, but I found it funny ! :LOL:
  16. Valéry Schollaert

    Curruca crassirostris from Egypt?

    Clearly an Eastern Orphean Warbler indeed. Hypocolius is very different, check out here.

    White or Pied Wagtail (UK)

    I did some research on migrant on South-West France (cap Ferret) in autumn 2012, White Wagtail having been part of the numerous passerines passing through the area then. The number of individuals having mixed characters is high and I also remember that I've read some publications confirming that...

    Passerine in EVOA, Portugal

    I'm afraid the small undertails excludes all Locustella. Birds on blurred photos often look longer-tailed.
  19. Valéry Schollaert

    Passerine in EVOA, Portugal

    Definitely a cisticola indeed.

    Raptor ID (SSHA, COHA, MERL??) - Saskatoon, SK, Canada

    Definitely a Merlin

    White or Pied Wagtail (UK)

    the colours look perfectly normal for a juv Motacilla alba IMO.

    White or Pied Wagtail (UK)

    I'm not sure that the juveniles can be separate in the field, especially since hybrids are not rare.

    Pallid or montagu harrier? in Kilimanjaro Tanzania

    He means that the 5th primary (green arrow) appears as a "finger" as the 4 first (red arrows), but shorter. Usually, Hen Harrier has 5 "fingers" but Montagu's and Pallied show 4 of them only (thus narrower wings).

    Juvenile flycatcher in Serengeti, Tanzania

    Not easy to identify such a young bird but with help of range and habitat, my first guess would be African Grey Flycatcher.

    Belize - please assist with ID

    Here are your birds : Brown Jay Psilorhinus morio Morelet's Seedeater Sporophila morelleti Vermilion Flycatcher Pyrocephalus (rubinus) obscurus It is better to write the names with capital letters as done here. A brown jay is a jay that is brown, a Brown Jay is Psilorhinus morio, even if it...
