Atlantic YLG (atlantis) 3cy, March 29 2008, Funchal, Madeira Islands. Picture: Thijs Valkenburg.

Typical spring 3cy:
- 2nd gen primaries, without a mirror on P10,
- 4 coloured bill, with just a hint of red, broad bill-band and white tip,
- pale iris,
- at least several tail-feathers with broad band,
- 2nd gen like outer greater coverts.

Atlantis 3cy birds quite often show several all white tail-feathers.
