Hi all

Saw this fella as I was out walking with a friend so snapped a few long shots.

I'm thinking Bar-Tailed as the bill looks slightly upturned and the legs look shorter - but this could all be artefacts as the lens was at its longest.

Help always appreciated - cheers

Yes, a Bar-tailed. The upperpart patterning is distinctive, amongst other things.

Cheers for that Andrew - all good knowledge to take with me :t:

Agree with Andrew, also it is relatively short legged. Black-tailed has longer legs.
