    Gbh ?

    Most pictures of GBH I've seen show black feather tufts where this one has the brown patches on the wing shoulders.

    Thanks, Bob.
    I was assuming most of the changes form the ID photos or drawings were due to going into our out of winter/breeding plumage. Or maybe juveniles in some species.

    Checking back through my 1023 images that afternoon, I got a shot of a different bird, same beach, with the black plumage.

    I believe their colors shift/change depending on how old they are.
