Observation details
Rare winter bird on MDI. Immature found along Knox Road. Initially on telephone wire then a truck disturbed it to a tree. This bird has an inconspicuous mustache and overall brown plumage suggesting it is possibly an immature female. Yellow cere, commisure and eye-ring offset beautifully the white supraorbital ridge, supercillium, malar and belly. Upperparts are streaked with white spotting on the flanks. The tail is banded white and brown with a distinctive broad white band on the tip. Pointed checkered underwings.
