Well, I had some spare time this evening, so here's another quiz.

Which species do these supercilia belong to? All have occurred in the Western Palearctic.

Hope they're big enough to see!

Happy guessing!

Dave

These are obviously harder than I thought!

None correct so far. In fact, no one has guessed the correct genus yet. Dimitris, you are right, you most probably have seen that eye somewhere!

I should say that number three is slightly silhouetted against strong light, so looks darker than it is in real life.

I'll wait a while more before giving more clues.

Well done, Joern! The first picture is indeed Wood Sandpiper, a spring bird, taken on March 9 this year.

As for the others, keep trying!

You're on the right track. It's a migrant Phyllosc .

Not Western Crowned or Dusky. Pic was taken in December in Singapore. That should give it away!

No Idea what could occur in Singapore, but could it be Arctic warbler?
