Heuglini 1cy, December 10 2010, Ashdod, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.

Note tail pattern. Many wing-coverts, the scapular region and head feathers seem to be replaced, which is very odd for heuglini by current standards, as they are commonly believed to be late moulting birds. Probably another taxon in this picture?
