Hoary Redpolls are paler overall caused by whiter feather
edgings so that Hoaries look like Common Redpolls seen
through a white veil (Taverner 1934). Other Hoary features are its
white rump, white undertail coverts limited to a few faint streaks and more
obtuse bill. Note fluffed appearance of this individual and sleeker
appearance of the next two Hoary Redpolls. Norland, Ontario, 3
January 2008. |
