Field Notes

Description:

It is a slender 15–16 cm long bird, with the characteristic long, constantly wagging tail of its genus. The breeding adult male is basically olive above and yellow below. In other plumages, the yellow may be diluted by white. The heads of breeding males come in a variety of colours and patterns depending on subspecies.

Notes:

Due to long distance and sunshine not so clear pictures, spotted white and yellow wagtail at same ground.
