Besides, only white wagtails have the black patch on their breasts.   I think this is a juvenile bird of the ocularis subspecies of white wagtail (scientific name Motacilla alba ocularis) because of the black eyestripe without white primaries.   By the way, juvenile white wagtails may have some weird colours like yellow. « Last Edit: Dec 8th, 2005, 11:23am by Little Dolphin » Logged Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. --- John Donne (1572-1631) Anton BBS Member BBS God Watch me if you can~     Gender: Posts: 142 Re: Bird ID Please~ « Reply #4 on: Dec 9th, 2005, 1:50am » Quote Modify on Dec 8th, 2005, 11:21am, little_dolphin wrote: But citrine wagtails have yellow underparts.

Some female White Wagtail show a buffy brows and chin in winter plumage. It's not a citrine wagtail as the birds show a dark eye stripe and upper breast patch.     Gary Logged zep BBS Member BBS Junior Member I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 16 Re: Bird ID Please~ « Reply #6 on: Dec 9th, 2005, 8:59pm » Quote Modify This is very similar to the thread on p. 5 discussing Anonymous Guy's picture.  The arguments are given there for white wagtail - the black breast patch is diagnostic, in spite of the rather atypical yellow colour.
