Sex, Age, Comment | Difficult to judge the sex on these birds because they are in eclipse plumage. On photo 3 the birds are lined up well for easier comparison. Here it looks like there is a clear difference between the 4 birds in front and the 2 at the rear end: The bill has much more dark on the 4 in front, thus indicating to me that they must be males. Also between the 3 photos the rufous upper wing patch are obvious on these birds. The last two birds therefore should be females, but the two between also look rather different, and it is possible the darker bird in front actually is a male, but then probably a young male because of the bill. I think it is safe to call the last bird a female - without deciding age. | ||||||||||||
