ICGU with wings up in front of HERG
Observation details
Photographed. Left of 1st cycle HERG in one photo. Wings up in another photo. 1st cycle ICGU. I believe Thayer’s vs. Kumlieni based on primaries slightly darker than body and more expected in this range. Smaller than nearby HERG with smaller dark bill. Still retaining juvenile plumage (expected in 1st cycle ICGU at this time of year) where nearby 1st cycle HERG shows new scapular feathers. Underwing is silvery white. Backlit in photo with wings up but even the HERG darker primary tips were evident when wings up in the same lighting during observation.
