Wheathear with a black cap???? (1 Viewer)

Yesterday I spoteed this strange Wheatear at Figueira da Foz, Portugal. Does anyone have an idea, what might it be???? It was a quite nervousbird, allways flicking the tail and "running", on the pavement.

I runnout with ideas!!!!!!

It looks like a Northern Wheatear to me - perhaps with wet crown

Agree with Northern.

You probably right Jane, I get stucked on bird jizz, never adopting that erect posture like northern wheatear does, it allways kept his head lower.

Is the tail band in the northern wheatear variation? With the outer half of tail feathers longer.....EDIT: with the black in the outer half of th tail feathers longer

I think that is is just feeling wet and miserable!
