I would like to know which subspecies this white wagtail belongs to.
The large white patch on wing agree with lugens, but it lacks a line on face. Can anyone answer my question?

Or would it be a hybrid or leucopsis and lugens?

This looks like a typical leucopsis, which also has a large white patch on the closed wing.
