Media notes
This is the first of the two individuals that were making eastern-like flight calls in recording ML647788377. This photo was taken while I was pointing the mic at it to make ML647788377.
Observation details
They were feeding on olives in the olive tree. I got a few recordings of various parts of the whole flock of 6, and I thoroughly photographed and recorded two female types that kept coming back to the olive after most had left. Those two and at least one or two of the others sounded like eastern flight calls to me, but close looks showed that both of them were clearly western plumage-wise. One was much greener than the other, but both showed blurrier and less contrasty streaking and face patterning as well as heavily dark-marked undertail coverts. Two males I saw looked western too. At least two birds in the flock gave normal western type flight calls.
