Pied Wagtail? white wagtail? (1 Viewer)

Not really into all this sub species stuff I"ll be honest I get a bit lost with it so can somebody help me? I was in Egypt last Jan and saw,I"ll call it a Pied Wagtail,around the pool,my question is.Would it have been a Pied Wagtail or a White Wagtail which I know is a different colour version of the same bird but I just like to keep them seperate or being Africa would it have been called something compleatly different?I"m lost help.

As a species, this bird is called white wagtail (see also the opus page). Pied wagtail is a name for the subspecies that is mostly found on the British Isles. Therefore, you birds in Egypt would be White W.

Unless you're Dutch of course, then many of the subspecies have been elevated to full species...
