Katherine Hall: Thanks Philippe, changed! There were a lot of Common Rosefinches calling in the area and spotted several others too.

Katherine Hall: Ah good to know - thanks for the info!

Katherine Hall: Oops - thanks for picking that up! Very true - changed.

Katherine Hall: Thanks Philippe, much appreciated! Changed to Black Redstart.

Philippe Campeau: I'd go for a female common rosefinch. They do tend to have plain brown heads and that peculiar beak shape. I did think about the plain mountain finch (Hogson on this site), but they would be more grey and then less likely to be met at that location.

Philippe Campeau: I would definitely go for a black redstart. White-capped would be unlikely anywhere but the very South of the country (and would have a black band on tail-end), the common redstart is a fairly uncommon passage migrant. The speckle of white on the forehead [....]

Philippe Campeau: Добрый день Мурат, и добрый пожадовать на сайте! Спасибо за кадр, пожалуйста, поделитесь если у вас еще фотки есть. А если вопросы, мы всегда [....]

Philippe Campeau: Lovely!

Philippe Campeau: Definitely a Siberian, as a common one would be quite a find. However, our site is based on the Russian (Kazakh) classification and they do not distinguish these species... Hence, you identified it right.

Philippe Campeau: Hi Katherine and welcome to the site! Are you on holiday in the country and a more ''permanent'' birder? Either way, nice to see your photos.On this one, I have the feeling we're looking at a grey wagtail, with pinkish legs (harder to say with the shade [....]

Katherine Hall: Is this a Common Stonechat or could it be a Siberian Stonechat (Saxicola maurus)?

Katherine Hall: Black Redstart, Common/Eurasian Redstart or White capped Redstart? It doesn't seem to be Güldenstädt's Redstart. Any clue appreciated!!!
