Hi
What do you think about this birds - 1) one fo them I think it's a superciliaris (hybrid flava x feldegg), but the supercillium is very wide, strange-looking. 2) next - feldegg ? I've read Andrea Corso article "Head pattern variation in black headed wagtail" and I suppose that it may be feldegg. Neck and part of head is it is slightly lightened but looks olive green, not gray. This is a possible winter plumage residue (not too late?). A little white around the eye - this is also rather unusual for thunbergi. The black color seems to shine through on the mantle.
