Observation details
The hue of the bluish-grey forehead, crown and nape is akin to a male Blue-headed Wagtail (M.f.flava) but whilst darker lores are also a feature of this race, these ear coverts are considerably too dark for a true Blue-headed Wagtail. This bird completely lacks any pale sub-ocular patch. It displays a striking similarity to Eastern Yellow Wagtail (M.f.tschutschensis), although there are no records for this species from Kuwait. It may be ahybrid between Black-headed Wagtail and Blue-headed or Sykes's Wagtail (M.f.feldegg x flava/beema).
