Ringed as pullus at Ikaali, Finland on July 05 1995, now in 9cy. The basic moult has started, with P1 new and P2-P10 still old in this individual. A representative for the adult fuscus by mid-July. Most striking are the small size, the slender bill, the red gonydeal spot which normally doesn't exceed on the upper mandible, the dark upper-parts which turn brown hued when older and worn, the lack of moult in the scapulars, wing-coverts and the primaries and the small white tips on the outer primaries, which wear away quickly. Note the strong brown hue on the old upper-parts.
