Eastern White Wagtail 2

Chinese White Wagtail Motacilla a.leucopsis

Initially considered a Black-backed Wagtail Motacilla alba lugens , when found on 16th April 2020, Rockanje, The Netherlands, when compared to Plate 27 (upper left illustration):

Later on the Chinese White Wagtail M.a.leucopsis seemed more likely albeit the grey flanks were considered unusual for this subspecies.Grey flanks however are normal for Black-backed  (lugens) and Baical Wagtail (baicalensis) and hybrids leucopsis x lugens do occur in Japan and Taiwan.
