| Comments | The conditions were impossible for a good photo, but at least you can see two key field marks: the red at the base of the undertail, and the lack of any red or yellow in the bend of the wing. Thanks to Rasmus Boegh for correctly identifying the race, based on the mostly pale lower mandible and the lack of blue on the cheeks. |
