Sumit said:Hi Hannu,
I may be off the mark with the bird under discussion but I don't think that the bird in your link is a Thick-billed.
I think these two are:

and,
http://www.orientalbirdimages.org/s...D=1757&Bird_Image_ID=2433&Bird_Family_ID=&p=4
My own horrible pic of the species is attached. Bad as th epic is, it does show the crest that this species erects - very distinctive and my basis (along with the lack of a distinct supercilium) for the ID suggestion.
Cheers!

hannu said:Yes, you are right ! I'm a little bit confusing these english bird names. I really wondered that photo too and I was too hasty, as I'm always. I must start to count to ten and answer after that ! Thanx, Sumit. This A. aedon has met once in Finland.
Cheers, Hannu

JANJ said:To add to the confusing, I´d say that the dark tail in the bird in #11 and the fact that it seems the emargination of the primaries falls aprox.at level with the longest tertial, which if, would rule out March and Reed, but not Blyth´s and elaeica, and languida for that matter. That darkish tail makes me think of languida. And what about the spacing of the three tertials, the middle closer to the outer than to the inner. The inner tertial are rather worn though, but wouldn´t account for the difference shown here, or would it?
What do you say hannu?
And think 10 seconds now before you move
