    Any way to tell if this is a downy or a hairy woodpecker? (United States)

    I got this picture a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it's a Downy Woodpecker because I get them more but I can't remember the size of the bird from when I took the picture.

    Pacific vs Asian Koel male: how to tell apart?

    Birds of the World says that it's just possible that an Asian Koel might wander into the range of Pacific Koel. Which leads me to ask, how to tell the males apart, if they are silent? Looking at photos, I can't tell. The females are by contrast very different. (Quite funny in that regard. How...

    Bird song Dodoma, Tanzania

    I heard this bird song for about five minutes this morning. I couldn't find the song in Merlin. The most similar seems to be gray flycatcher, but this one's still different. Anybody who would know more?

    Unidentified Shoveler (Spatula sp.)

    Hi all. I have 2 photographs of a shoveler sp. I'm not quite sure what to make of. My first impression was of a male northern shoveler (Spatula clypeata) in eclipse. But I'm still not certain if it could even be a northern shoveler or maybe some other spatula sp. or a hybrid of some sort. The...

    How to Identify Gulls

    I guess this is another general thread about gulls. One of my biggest problems is not knowing what to make of the undersides of their wings. Is there any online (or, indeed any) guide that illustrates what they all look like from below? Birds fly, I can't :ROFLMAO:

    Wheatears from Dagestan

    Hi! On my mind here is two different species Oenanthe finschii, Finsch's Wheatear (first three) and Oenanthe pleschanka, Pied Wheatear (second three). They are different birds. What do you think? I know that it's not easy to ID them, but anyway... Thank you!!!

    Oriental or Caspian plover? Location to be revealed afterwards

    I genuinely want to know if Oriental can be separated from Caspian, without regard to the location. (Might be of use to twitchers in the UK, for example, since Oriental has appeared in Norway.) These pictures were taken in early April this year. There was one male, one female. Unfortunately the...

    Olive-backed Sunbird baby - Siem Reap, Cambodia yesterday

    Dear members and Bird Watchers! Took this pictures yesterday and I gave the ID Olive-backed Sunbird. Looking closer to the picture today and it looks like a yellow gape. I learned from Butty here on the forum that the babies have the yellow gape. Or can it be a female with something orange...

    Juvenile Corvid, not sure on species [UK]

    It was nesting on the edge of a wood with one other bird. Most of the info out there to help distinguish ravens/crows/rooks/jackdaws etc. seems to relate to mature adults. So I thought I'd ask here.

    Eastern Buzzards: what determines the width of the dark trailing edge of underwing?

    I am interested in this question, largely because I am researching the difference between Buteo japonicus and Buteo refectus. Ebird mentions the more prominent dark trailing edge of the underwing of refectus as one separating feature. (The other feature is marginally darker trousers. I don't...

    European Blackbird separable from Chinese?

    I live in Hong Kong, where Chinese Blackbird (Turdus mandarinus) is a common winter visitor and rare summer breeder. In the unlikely event that an adult European Blackbird (Turdus merula) appeared in Hong Kong, would you be able to identify it by photos alone? I've long wondered about it and...
