[BirdPhotoIndia] Yellow Wagtail (subspecies)

Date: 15/01/12

Place: Asansol (W.B.)

 

Note: Wagtails though migratory except white-browed wagtail which is a resident species are identified on the basis of their established species classification. But they require keen observation because of their numerous subspecies existing under the established species classification. This will enable us to know about their place of origin & migratory habits. I've posted this one as yellow wagtail (Motacilla flava) but it could be a subspecies "Motacilla flava thunbergi" making it a migrant from Siberia.
