Observation details
Small. Darkish gray top, black throat and upper chest (a 'bib'), white face split with a thin black line through eye. Black top of head. Lighter gray flanks and black legs. Tail is long, and very narrow, maybe the length of body ahead of legs. Black on top, white trim. Some banding as you move from gray back to tail. Overall, not a hint of colour -- only black, white and gray. Tail wags up and down. Only flight behavior observed: bounding, power applied to climb, then a descending glide. c.f. goldfinch. Eight other observers present at 18:40. Bird is on the mud, 50m to west of McKinnon Road, about 1km north from Angus (where it transitions from pavement to gravel), in partially flooded field. Absolutely magnificent views.
