Lou, what do you think about the second bird from post #2349, is it a 4cy female?
pale irides aren't rare (at least 30% show such pale ones in adults, less so in 3rd cycles, like in the one #2350).
the 4th cycle (5cy, cristian ) type in 2349 has a primary pattern perfectly fitting an older adult with long grey tongues, litlle black on underwing (nice typical cach "halfmoon") and large mirrors.
