Isabelline Wheatear - Ain al-Fayda, Abu Dhabi, UAE December 2018 (1 Viewer)

Dear members and bird watchers

I have identified the bird on the picture as a Asian Desert Warbler. We drive in the desert and the bird land in front of us. A branch cover the head so only one usable picture even though of poor quality.

But I don´t feel good with my identity and now I have changed the identity to a Isabelline Wheatear. I´m I right to have changed the identity?

Kind regards and happy birding

You're right to change it to a Wheatear species, though which one will require some suggestions.
Unfortunately doesn't immediately strike me as an Isabelline.

It's a female Desert Wheatear. For one thing the legs are too dainty for Isabelline.
