Photo 7: LBBG 3cy, October 22 2001, Westkapelle, the Netherlands.

Another example of a 3cy LBBG:

1. P6-p7 are full-grown and p8 is just beyond the tip of p7. The small white tips are still visible at these fresh primaries, but will wear away quickly;
2. The upper tertials have  a grey centre and  a white tip (confined to the inner web). Tertials #5 and #6 still have spaghetti pattern, typical for 3cy birds;
3. Both abraded and fresh coverts are grey, without a hint of immaturity;
4. The bill has black markings on both the upper and lower mandibles (but this may be seen in older birds as well);
5. Streaking on the head and neck create a executioner's hood.
