Is this a ssp. hrota?
These photos were taken recently in Portugal. I believe it to be a hrota. Can anyone please confirm?

Yes I would agree that your Brent Goose image is of the race hrota. Regards Tristan |

Jose
Your second pic shows a first winter hrota bird as the white neck line is still not fully developed and also the clear white wingbars are also a diagnostic feature for a first winter hrota bird. Tom |
