I thank you, Noe and Pili:) It seems that there are several subspecies; in different parts of the world looks a little different....and still this is a migratory bird... I found this page interesting on the net: http://www.radioactiverobins.com/wagtails-eastrn-othr%20white-/black-headed%20%20wagtail%20motacilla%20flava%20feldegg.htm and: http://www.google.ro/search?q=motacilla+flava+feldegg&hl=ro&site=webhp&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=ppsYT6H1Bo2tsgbJlsTsDQ&ved=0CFIQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=90 :))...
