    Stint? Sandpiper? Alentejo Coast Portugal

    Hi All, I´m at a loss here. Photos were made on October 6,2021. On both photos the bird on the right should be a Dunlin, I think, but what bird is on the left? I do not think it is a Little Stint because it is lacking the white V on the back. Please help. Cheers, Bert

    One might argue it's a Willow Warbler we see here but the very white front convinced me this is a Western Bonelli's Warbler

    Currently treated as part of Southern Grey Shrike. I have read statements that no matter which current authority you follow, you are almost certainly wrong on these, so I just use the geographic descriptor for where I saw this bird
