Hello everyone
Last Saturday I found this black-tailed godwit in the city of Faro (Algarve, Portugal) and I think it´s a juvenile of the ssp islandica because of the colour of the neck, the design of the mantle and tertials and it hasn´t started moulting yet
I would like a second opinion because I don´t know if it´s too early for islandica to arrive here and it´s the first time I read about and try to identify black-tailed godwit subspecies, so every comment o correction will be wellcome
Thank you in advance
