Observation details
Found previous day by R. Lambert, C. Robertson. BBRC, BB Vol. 79 No. 11. Apparently not seen following day. From my notes. Very active bird feeding almost constantly. When not feeding it was preening. Seemed very at home in the rocky quarry. Tail pattern obvious in flight [see illustration]. However when at rest and tail closed no white could be seen, appearing black. Peachy hue noted on breast which was sandy, becoming paler until white on vent and under tail coverts. Very pale forehead almost white. Crown was very pale grey/sand color. Sandy mantle. Black wings, and throat / ear coverts.
