Thrush Nightingale ,Northern Greece (1 Viewer)

Is it a common Nightingale or Thrush Nightingale?

 

[KenM]

If I’ve interpreted the wing formula correctly, the 1st primary appears “shorter” than the primary coverts, that should suggest Thrush Nightingale?

Cheers

I posted to that effect earlier Ken then deleted it - I wasn’t sure if that was down to moult (p1/10) still growing and/or whether the luscinia type plumage was down to wear? I could only see 7 pp tips so wondered if the pp was slightly short? (My experience of Thrush is primarily Spring and late Autumn migration)

7 primary tips, short P2 and emargination on P4 make it a common nightingale

You mean any other votes, not ideas Ody? This could become like one of those TV programmes when the public register their preference for competitor No. 1 or No. 2!
For me it's a Common, but if five more people say Thrush and only two more say Common what will you do?:eek!:

I would like to see a Thrush Nightingale. If this is not one ...then I'll search the next days close to Thessaloniki to see one!!!!

I can only agree here, Mark lists all the ID features. No doubt that it is a Common Nightingale

Today I found another bird.
What about this one?

 

[Deb Burhinus]

This too looks like a Common Nightingale
