Title: Hoary Redpoll ?
Post by: dizzy on March 28, 2015, 06:33:59 PM
Hi,

This bird looks paler than a common. Does anyone agree this could be a Hoary Redpoll?

Thanks for looking.

I don't think it's possible to tell for sure from the picture. Rump and/or undertail coverts are the best clue, and they are not visible.
