1 ex. Nice bird! Showing very well at times but can also be very hard to find when feeding on the ground. As a lifer for me, no previous experience with this taxon but everything seems good (rump, undertail, general colour, even the fluffy appearance is sometimes visible near the shoulders, depending on the bird's position). All these compared directly with mealy. The bill can seem heavy and maybe "too" heavy but when looking in literature overlap is present between mealy and artic, so the bill's thickness of this bird seems not enough to exclude Arctic redpoll. But that's only my humble view ;-) Thanks to discoverer in any case Waargenomen door: Xavier Vandevyvre
