Yes, a female Brambling. Do I get a 7s ticket as well?

Well I don't know about 2 "John's" getting tickets as it was an easy ID for both you experts.

But here is a harder ID, today at Pokfulam a Dove/Pigeon the same size and colouring as a Spotted Dove but with a long black tail feather with white tip. It was feeding on its own but there were Spotted Doves in the vicinity. The white tip would have been at least 1" long

Sorry no decent photo as only phone camera

It looks to me like a Spotted Dove with the central tail feathers missing, so that you can see the white on the outer tail.

Thanks John

If there is a Rugby Sevens ticket to be won, I'm willing to declare this to be any species you prefer.
