2018-01-15 Humedal de Cartagena, Región Valparaíso (V), Chile Juvenile. The white tips to the primaries are difficult to perceive from this flying angle, but obvious on the perched bird. Like that, there are no confusion species in the area, the young Gray-hooded showing a more 'normal' juvenile hand, all brownish. I'm not sure if the molted outer secondary is normally seen at this date. Here with Franklin's Gulls and South American Terns. |
