Hi All,

I think I need to review my stint ageing and moult sequences...

I saw this stint this afternoon, which I immediately thought was an adult Little Stint (quite uncommon here) mainly due to the extensive, warm fringing to the tertials. However I met a Thai birder who reckoned it was a Red-necked (from looking at my photos, on the back of the camera). I've looked over various references and I can't make up my mind, so I'd like some opinions please...

Also an adult Red-necked would not have heavy streaking in the rufous wash on the breast.

Thanks for these responses, and happy that the consensus goes with my original ID.
