| Pied Wheatear Oenanthe pleschanka |
||||
 |
Ethiopia Pied Wheatear breeds from south-east Europe to northern China and winters in north-east Africa and south-west Arabian Peninsula. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. |

There is a possibility that photo 2 shows a Cyprus Wheatear O. cypriaca which is very similar to Pied
Wheatear but the three distinguishing features of a shorter primary projection, a broader black tip to the tail and a shorter white rump are not
visible in this photo.
Photo 1 shows the non-breeding plumage while photo 3 with a white throat shows the sub-species O. p. vittata. |
