Media notes
Immature male. Remarks: I watched an adult male and an immature male that were foraging high up - I was on a slope and the crown of the tree was at eye level. Largely animal prey was taken. But the immature male, that was self-feeding, also took the head of sprouting moss (sporophytes - the tall, stalk-like forms of moss with a calyptra head). No female or other juveniles were seen; division of fledglings between parents may have been possible. Immature male plumage suggests that the black eye stripe, wings and tail change occur first as well as rufous-chestnut develops early. The head remaining grey and mantel plumage still like the females. The immature male also had a clear, whitish eye ring. -Amar. Date added to OBI: June 15, 2018.
