Hi all, A friend has e-mailed me a picture of a bird seen at a feeder in Kentucky w= hich he can't ID. I have looked at it, and I am baffled too, my best gues= s is a brown thrasher, or possible mockingbird, in a very aberrant plumag= e, maybe mid-moult, though the head is almost bald. Does anyone want to t= ry and ID the bird if I forward them the JPEG image? Cheers Ian Ian Stewart T.H.
