Came across a flock of 25+ Yellow Wagtails at Scalby Lodge Pond, just north of Scarborough last night, so had a good search for an odd 'un. Found one odd man or woman out, with a strong white super and crown, nape and ear coverts much bluer/greyer than all its companions. Underparts like the female flavissima and not nearly as bright as the male flavissima which formed the majority of the flock. No photo of "my" bird, but found this very good likeness on the web, although I do not think my bird showed any necklace of spots. What sex/race/age is this, as it's very likely the same?
