Ruffled Jay in forest light

Ruffled Jay in forest light (Garrulus glandarius)

Can't make up my mind whether this is a worn adult or a juvenile. Can anyone help me here please? I've never knowingly seen a juvenile Jay.
At the time I couldn't see past the beautiful light filtering through the trees and the fact that the bird hadn't noticed me coming.

Love your composition here,Graham and if you could sneak up on this one in the forest, it's probably a juvenile. A great image,Graham. Very nice feel to it. :clap:

Thank all very much for taking the time to write all these kind comments about this picture!
I reckon you're right, Ove. I definitely got the impression that it was a juvenile while I was watching it.
