Photo 11: Second winter LBBG, October 14 2001, Westkapelle, the Netherlands.

A pretty dark brown individual with a warm brown hue in the coverts. Most of the lower lesser covert bar has been shed and new 3rd generation feathers are growing in. The median coverts have been replaced by predominantly grey feathers recently. As in many 2cy LBBG, a single tertial is plain grey, while the others have a very dark centre.
