Haematopota are very difficult to ID. It looks much too grey for H. pluvialis, but then again, in eastern Europe some populations are unusually grey. So I can't tell in this case. Theo Zeegers |

Right. That would help. As would a frontal and lateral headshot. I know, it's much asked, but then again, identifying Haematopota from pictures is equally much asked ! Theo |
