Usual Monties Pallid help needed - SW France (1 Viewer)

rosbifs

PutAin STOP
Ukraine
Bird seen over airport. Put down as monties because dark wing tips and seemingly dark trailing edge to primaries - 'triangle'.

On looking at photos the barring seems quite heavy. There doesn't seem to be any white in the face apart from maybe Mon 26.
Mon 6 - dark outer fingers
mon 15 - hint of pale collar or trick of the light
mon 20 22 - boomerang?
mon 18 broad wing into narrow hand.

I have attahced all the photos - there should be enough features or structure and I need educating!!!

26 photos to attach.... most of them rubbish....

Pallid/ Montagu's?

Hi,

I tried to brighten up and sharpening one of the pic and my choice landed on Montagu's on the features you mentioned. In addition p10 (outermost), looks long compared to Pallid, which means that p10 falls more or less opposite to p6 in your bird, more or less opposite to p5 in Pallid.
