Heuglini 2cy, March 09 2010, Ashdod, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov. 

Bird very obviously from northern tundra, with still extremely neat juvenile wing-covert panel by March. Juvenile scapulars just replaced for 2nd gen feathers in the lowest row (rear LLS).
Difficult to fully exclude fuscus which also may show such a fresh plumage.
