コマミジロタヒバリ石垣島に登場!!

夕方、田んぼに寄っていると畔にコマミジロタヒバリがいました。今季初というか久しぶりのライフリスト更新です。タヒバリの仲間は、これからどんどん数を増やして石垣島で越冬します。

当初は、ちょっと変わったムネアカタヒバリと思っていましたが、まさかコマミジロタヒバリだとは驚きです。

Overall proportions. The Richard's Pipit has a shorter tail than the Blyth's Pipit and did not adopt an upright stance.

The distinction between Buff-bellied Pipit and Water Pipit: the bill is slender and more pointed, the shaft streaks on the median coverts are not pointed, and the supercilium is indistinct. The call was also not as strong and forceful as that of a Water Pipit.
