Hi,
We are struggling a bit with this bird found today at SE part of Latvia. Doesn't quite feel right for a Northern Wheatear and at this time of year Isabelline is probable... The bird doesn't really have a defined supercillum (in front or behind the eye) but the tail shows much black and kinda looks short-ish. Wing also is not as contrasting as usually Northern Wheatears have.. We don't have much experience with this species (no records in Lv) - what's your opinion?
Photos are not taken by me so can't add much more than can be seen in photos.
Thanks in advance! B![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
