I'd go for female Pied, flanks are too dark ( as is the back) for White Wag, which looks even more ghostly than this bird.

Not too sure about identifying these, don't think it's too dark for a white though, here in this part of France yarelli is a major rarity, and I've seen whites darker than this. In conclusion, I don't know!

Hi Geoff

Just wondering if the Wagtail was at Draycote? If so, a White Wagtail was reported on 21st March on Draycote Bank near the valve tower. Looks like White to me, but alas, I am no expert!

I'm with Hotspur. The rump is not visible, but there is a suggestion of dark, hence I would opt for Pied.

A few years since I have seen White at Gib. Point NNR in Lincolnshire. The business about the cap and bib not being connected is less helpful in my view because of confusion with female Pied.
