Heuglini type adult, June 2008, Bolshoye Boloto, Ivanovo Oblast, Russia (56°30'17.0"N 42°16'00.0"E). Picture: Grzegorz Neubauer.
Adult heuglini type.
Bird in the colony, hard to believe this taxon will breed so far south of the know areal? Still showing obvious heuglini traits:
- large mirror on P10, but tiny mirror on P9.
- black down to P4, 7 primaries with black.
- dark slate grey upperparts.
