Different bird. Note for example the number of moulted greater coverts and the different tertial pattern of the two.  Both the same age and sex though.

Thanks Paul..... that sort of thing is way beyond me....., is lucky we have you around.

This [i]1st winter male[/i] [b]Blue & White Flycatcher[/b] came in today.... don't know if it is the same one that was here on the 13th as I think they are just passing though...

Looks like third bird - note the pale buff tips to all the tertials.  Where are the females in that part of the world?!

I wish I knew.... be nice to have a few extra females round the house every now & again....
Here's a shot of the same bird I quite liked also....

Great, shot.  Interesting that both you and I have had 2 Blue-and-white Flycatchers within the last 2 weeks. Historically it would seem that by November there aren't many of these species moving through.

Yes very strange.... but I am up to 3 now & hoping for more - lol
