疑似黃頭鶺鴒

I am not sure it is possible to identify based on this photo alone.  However, there are many pro Citrine features including the pale surround to the ear-coverts, the paler centre to the ear-coverts, the apparently pale lores and the longish looking bill.  However, all of these can change with posture and may be more or less obvious in other postures and photos.  Regarding the wing bars; as it is not possible to see all of the greater coverts in the photo I don't see how an assessment of the wing bar size can be made, plus this also diminishes with wear.
