Discussion of a record of 'Black-headed Wagtail' [M. f. feldegg] at Maylandsea, Essex, in May-June 1999.
Abstract:
A record of 'Black-headed Wagtail' [Motacilla flava feldegg] at Maylandsea, Essex, in May-June 1999, is discussed.The presence of a thin supercilium, in front of and behind the eye, suggests that this individual was perhaps most likely to have been an intergrade between [feldegg] and another form of Yellow Wagtail [M. flava], rather than a pure [feldegg].The characters of intergrades are examined, and observers are encouraged to submit full details of any such individuals which may occur in the future.
