Any thoughts on racial id. of this bird. Could probably never be certain or rule out hybrids, but comments would be welcomed.Flava wagtail.jpeg

very hard if not impossible in most females (like this) but that half supercillium suggests a hybrid. not sure how female channel wagtails look but I'd have imagined a dark capped ssp. like thunbergi x flava to look alike.

Thanks, yes, I was thinking possible thunbergi or thunbergi x flava.
