Show your Bird Portraits

Today I got a bad photo of leucistic Eurasian Robin from a friend from Bulgaria. You can get an imagination from much better photos on the Internet!

And somehow connected it with my rarest bird photos taken so far - not as a species, just an interesting form/mutation. Actually these are the first known photos of a leucistic Pacific Golden Plover (or any Pluvalis sp.?) so far (later they were taken by other guys, same bird - some by cellphones :))!

First two are Non-breading and Full-Breading (male!) Pacific Golden Plover, later two Leucistic taken 2017.11.14 at noon - when I find it first, and two more (same bird) taken 4 days later at early (~7:30) morning. I'm not sure for the first two photos but the leucistic form is taken with D7200x200-500 (same camera that my daughter is using now x Sigma 105 macro for her insects).[.

Well, looking at the photos all are taken with 200-500: 500PF has it's own "signature" in the highlights - for bad:mad: .
