Heuglini adult, March 09 2011, Ashdod, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov. 

Bird with some black on the bill, but with large white tips to the outer primaries and in most respects much adult-like. Compare grey tone of upper-parts with nominate fuscus in the background (but be aware of light conditions as well).
