Along with the white below the bill and at the back of the upper leg - hence agree this could be an effect of the back lighting (frayed end of tail feathers with light shining through them)?Not got enough experience of buntings or Turkish races of Corn Bunting to comment further on the actual id though ... although if it can't be made into a Pine Bunting or rare bunting from the east then Corn Bunting becomes the default ... or best left as unidentified?Heavy flank streaking and dark pink legs in the latest, and indeed, dark breast spot area.</blockquote>
