could well be with such a long 6th finger, barring looks typical EHB though, definetely a picture to send to Dick Forsman www.dickforsman.com
Thanks a lot, Tom!
Yes, the 6-th finger looks long and imho wings are slightly broads thats why I though that it could be hybrid. But 6-th finger could be long also due to moulting inner primaries, for example, 7-th finger if a bird is in adult plumage. Because now I dont know certainly, if its juvenile or adult female. How do You think?
Thanks once more!
