LBBG 3cy 5.412.037July 17 2005, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Typical local 3cy LBBG, which returned from the wintering grounds with a strong contrast between the old brown coverts and the grey 'saddle' (scapulars). The complete moult has started in this individual and many central coverts have been replaced recently.
