Hello all,
I saw this Yellow Wagtail in North Israel on April 1st, when I was looking for another rare variant I've seen there a day before (I am suspecting a xanthophrys-type intergrade). Pictures of both the suspected xanthophrys-type intergrade and the mystery bird, which I identified as Western/Eastern Yellow Wagtail appear in this ebird list:
Also, I have uploaded two short videos showing the mystery bird foraging and chirping to my flickr acount, here:
I would appriciate any insight regarding what subspecies/variant that mystery bird might be. Also, comments on the suspected xanthophrys-type intergrade will be highly appriciated.
Thank you,
Daniel
