Black-headed Bunting, juvenile, Burkle, Fair Isle 1st October 2024

I found this bird during a superb days birding on the isle, one of the single most enjoyable days I had on this excellent island. 

A juvenile which shows a long primary projection and heafty bill, which would exclude the bird as being a Red-headed Bunting, but lacking any yellow tones appearing overall sandy coloured, somewhat likea juvvie Rose-coloured Starling. 

It lingered just long enough that other birders got to see it.
