Female Ruff - Ethiopia October 2019 (1 Viewer)

not exactly sure why but proportins in the original bird look more like that of an adult male. maybe it's the proportionally smaller head?

Hello lou salomon!

Seriously, the books really made me confused. In Collins, the two in lower right corner looks to be in scale while the surrounding birds seem to be in different scales.

In Birds of Horn of Africa they seems to be in same size, all 3 of the Ruffs.

Well, I should have sticked to the Horn of Africa book and it would have been easy with the clear difference in appearance.

Kind regards and happy birding
