This pic is mislabelled Turdus torquatus; should be Monticola saxatilis (English name is correct).
Arrgh! Yes, of course I meant solitarius . . . a bad typo, thanks for spotting that!Changed to Monticola solitarius which is what blue rock thrush is in Opus

Yes; these are broad, solid white with a clearly defined edge, and likewise on the tertials; in wingbarred Red Crossbills, the wingbars are narrow, and ill-defined, merging into the red/green of the rest of the plumage, and usually absent from the tertials.My immediate impression was the same, but then I remembered that some Red Crossbill have white wing bars, even if they are less strong than on White-winged. So: are you absolutely sure?

DoneThis Ivory Gull pic has a typo in the genus name "Pagophilia" instead of Pagophila, stops it getting picked up by the search.
And several (here and here and here and here and here and here) are missing the scientific name Pagophila eburnea altogether (found them by a test search for "ivory+gull", though this also gets some false hits).
is superfluous, and causes it to index under L. glaucoides as well, where it shouldn't be.I don't see Thayer's Gull listed in the database - I assume it is lumped with Iceland Gull, Larus glaucoides in the scheme used here.
Herring Gull, ssp. L. a. argentatus, probably 3rd winter.For the first one, what is the second bird?
No reason to doubt it; I wasn't questioning the ident., just the superfluous comment at the top which must have been added before the Gallery had a separate listing for Thayer's (or had it listed then as a subspecies of Iceland, which it was in the past).For the second one, you are sure? I thought that Thayer's would be more in-between in the wing tip?
This pic needs correcting to Melanerpes aurifrons. A copy-and-paste error (adjacent pic is of Cyanocorax yncas).
