Hi there,
At the end of November, a bird considered to be the first Blyth´s P. for Spain was found near the coast. There´s a couple of pics of the bird in "rare birds in spain" website. I don´t like the median coverts design for Blyth´s, looking more Richard´s. The bird has been seen by many competent birders and ided as Blyth´s. Bill shape looks good for Blyth´s but I´m not sure about those median coverts. What do you think?
