Heuglini adult, November 30 2009, northern Oman. Picture: Hans Larsson (his website).

Active moult in all flight feather tracts. P6/P9. PMS=35. Outermost secondaries replaced (one-by-one) and now the moult gap in the secondaries rapidly grows as the next feathers are dropped quickly. Outer rectrices still old, as this moult develops centrifugal (starting with inner feathers).
