of the water body ...
and light was
fading out fast ...

Another great shot of this Bunting Alok!
Is this a juvie or a female because I see no red on it at all except for a red dot above its beak. You can answer me here and I'll check back ;)

Thank you, KC
Most of the texts mention juveniles and females as similar
In our area we see them during spring migration back to Central Asia and by that time most of the juvies have become male or female.
Best regards.
Alok.
