Hi Matthew, For some of these not immediately obvious birds, it would be handy if you could add some confirmation of your ID as a comment, eg the call. This one could be a fan-tailed at a pinch, with the breast not being visible.

Thanks Jackie. Yes I almost did comment on the call and should have. Definite rising notes of a Pallid.
