Thank you so much!

Why juvenile? With what looks like 2 generations of feathers in the wing, and traces of the dark face still visible, surely it’s an adult?

To be honest all it was based on a surface look at it. Though with the colouration it would of thought it would be immature atleast.

Sorry for the mistake.
