Hi everyone! So, due to the absence of international travel I sifted among old pictures and I found some birds from a Sri Lanka trip in august 2012 that I think me and the guide might have misidentified.
First up is a classic problem. We identified this bird as juvenile Besra, due to the strong gular stripe and, from the one picture where it is seen, the bands on the tail. However, ebird alerted me of a possible misidentification. It does have longish wings, that might point to a Shikra. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!
