Is this by any chance an isabellina or just a plain oenanthe :?:

Hi Vlad

From your picture it is impossible to be sure; do you have any more, perhaps side or back views? Even if they are distant it may help.

Isabellinus should not occur in Romania I think, and a spring record would be even more rare.

Regards

Thanks for the input Sean,
unfortunatley this is the only picture... But i`m not that desperate for this id as I do have isabelinus on the lifelist, and it is breeding in Romania for some 10 years now. ;)
It`s just trickier to get it right with the females, be it bird or human. :D
Cheers!
