Hi Wiebe ! I didn't ignore your post, just needed time for some research
! It seems to be kind of murky about the subspecies introduced here (and yes, they may have different tail length!). It seems at least for the bird on my photos to accept that it's just not mature - some residual colors on the head as well dark spots on the primary covers (and well, it's definitely the easiest way to go
)... Otherwise what I have seen as a mature birds around looks rather confluent. Now I think I have good reason to make more pics of the Shama
!Any way - good eyes, thank you (honestly I didn't think about the tail length on my photos - it's... just Shama
)!Here are two more photos from the same series (since I have nothing else to post...)!
I really love this bird: once, when I was taking photos of small dragonfly I found a S
hama perched on my photo-backpack just behind of me; second time it was a Shama perched on my tripod when I was pooling out my camera to take photos of a wild pigs... and many other cases when it is just sitting nearby and watching how I'm taking pictures of something small on the ground! And that deep, beautiful voice!

To everyone else - nice photos, I'm really impressed by the Egret and the Sky Lark! Right now I'm split between my white wine (the Labor Day here!) and the Forum... Some friends are around - all of them Canon shutters BTW eek and we have funny talk about some new cameras
!).

Hi ISv, you're allowed to take your time
- the forum is not the only thing in your life... (at least I hope not 
)In your last Shama pic's it seems that perspective may be an important factor - even with more or less frontal view you can still clearly see the tail - so it must be relatively long
.They do have very nice warm colours in their plumage - unfortunately I cannot comment on their voice...
Next weekend I'll be making a tour in some of the nicest wetlands in our country - hope to be able to show some of it next week...

Thank you. As is often the case, this was a lucky event for me. I was walking around the park when this bird landed right in front of me, with me in full view. The bird couldn't have cared less! I managed dozens of shots before it decided to fly away.Lovely lighting. Nicely done.
