Citrine Wagtails - Red River Island

Hi all,

Photo blind today in the Red River Island, northern tip, near a small pond. Seen some Citrine Wagtails, 2 or 3 (but maybe more, because of problem to identify clearly 1st winter Yellow/Citrine).
Some pics :

Adult + maybe 1st winter


with a Yellow one




And the Red-Billed Starlings were still there, still bathing... 7 individuals.
