	The Dunlin Web Site: "Adult buff" coverts
		Edges to juvenile feathers in a 2c bird belonging to this category are often not buff or reddish, but just white and grey (with a slight tinge of light buff), and I suspect that juveniles later in the season with very light (whitish) edges to tertial coverts etc. also belong to this group.
		For comparison three versions of standard alpina medians in adults have been added, altogether grey or dark grey with light grey edge is standard, I believe that the white edge connects with "adult buff" (or "silver" medians) in the east.
		Finally it could be added that "droplet (primary) coverts" share the "adult buff" pattern of early and fast moult, and they are connected with ranking "3" (see pictures of "droplet" and rankings: to Meissner scale) as often as "adult buff" medians are.
