Atlantic YLG (atlantis) 3cy, August 23 2010, São Miguel, Azores Islands. Picture: Richard Lowe.

Active complete moult: P9 and P10 still old 2nd gen. Old secondaries still present and visible, now the central GC have been dropped. In general, bird pretty mature in plumage and bare parts, much reminding of older immatures (4cy).
