Tundra and Taiga? (1 Viewer)

[Bismarck Honeyeater]

These three birds are at RSPB Lakenheath, they were identified as Tundra. They looked like Tundra in build.

From experience I ’ve found the bill pattern of Taiga to be more variable than Tundra.

My question is on bill pattern. Can Tundra show a bill like nos. 1 & 2. No. 3 looks typical Tundra.


1. 2.


3.

Bean Goose - Poland

Hello Can anyone tell me if I have made the right ID with assuming this must be "Bean Goose (A.f.fabalis)" with those marked with numbers, or can it not be done so easily based on the bill? Pictures are from today Thanks
