Comment:   I'm sure you will agree that this is VERY hard to ID......you have put so much effort into submitting these pictures, it is a pity when we can't ID them. If you could think about increasing the image size - that is the size of the bird's image, not the size of the photo - improve exposure, and increase clarity, you would be submitting some great records. Please keep them coming.
