Hello.
Couldn't get a back angle shot. Only front and flank.
I lean towards a female European Pied FC due to the (Quoting Opus) "very insignificant pale vertical mark leading from the white wing bar - in the female Collared this is noticeably broader and leads almost to the edge of the wing".
I know the dark plumage tone is also a distinct feature for this species but I personally struggle with tone distinction.
What do you say?
Thanks in advance.
