Thanks from me too to Paul for the elucidation, though (a) I'd only seen the first photo (b) it still seems that this is a 'balance of probability' id, though acceptable as such. Also I wasn't aware of the pale centre to the ear coverts area point (though on reflection I think quite a lot - mostly scrutinized in photos - do, it is true show this feature), and I don't really see how this bird shows a very obvious pale forehead. I guess the bill does look fine, and have learnt something there.
