	Wheatear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The wheatears, genus Oenanthe, were formerly considered to be members of the thrush family Turdidae.
		This is an Old World group, but the Northern Wheatear has established a foothold in eastern Canada and Greenland.
		They are terrestrial insectivorous passerine birds of open, often dry, country.

		The axillaries and underwing coverts of Isabelline are whitish or pale buff, as opposed to the (usually) dark grey of Northern.
		In Isabelline the supercilium often flares in front of the eye and is usually much reduced behind the eye (narrowing rapidly to a point), while in Northern it tends to be longer and more flared behind the eye.
		In Isabelline the fore-supercilium tends to be white or at least pale, contrasting with the often much-reduced buffy rear-supercilium - the opposite is true in Northern which usually show a buffy fore-supercilium and whiter rear.

		The bird was clearly a wheatear from its general appearance, colouration, size, structure and tail pattern.
		Members voted unanimously in favour of acceptance commenting that the precise age and sex of this individual was difficult to ascertain, although, one member suggested that the pale tips to the tail indicate that it was a first year bird as shown in Cramp (1988).
		Isabelline Wheatear is a species that breeds in the northern hemisphere migrating south to the Arabian Peninsula, Middle-East, Pakistan and north western India with a single sight record from central Myanmar (Robson 2000).

	British Birds - From the Rarities Committee's files: Identification of autumn Isabelline Wheatears (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Isabelline Wheatear [Oenanthe isabellina] is surely one of the most difficult of British rarities to identify.
		This is due partly to similarities with Northern Wheatear [O. oenanthe] in autumn plumage, partly to the variability of Isabelline and Northern Wheatears, and partly to varying and sometimes contradictory statements made in the identification literature.
		It is, however, not only the identification of Isabelline Wheatear that is difficult, but also the assessment of claimed records, which can be an extraordinarily problematical task, sometimes made more so by the receipt of inadequate material on which to pass judgment.

		This case relates to a record of a wheatear sighted in roadside grasslands and vegetation on the North East coast of Christmas Island (105º 42’ E 10º 25’S) on the 14th January 1996.
		The committee has little difficulty in agreeing that this bird is in fact a wheatear Oenanthe spp., the first confirmed record of this genus for Australia.
		The committee did concur that Northern Wheatear is the far more likely contender when taking into account the likelihood of occurrence given that there are records of this species from Borneo.

		To my surprise it turned out to be a wheatear (a back window tick, no less, and very unexpected in my sururban location!) But it did look a bit dark.
		Size smaller than Northern Wheatear with noticeably fine, almost warbler-like bill (though much the same length as Northern Wheatear's) No birds available for direct comparison, but, judging from acquiantance with the resident Robin, very little bigger and certainly not big enough for Northern or Isabelline wheatear.
		This was actually the first specis that sprang to mind after Northern Wheatear, but it was redaily dismissed because, apart from being too small, the bird was too greyish, dark and dingy for that species.

		The best area for Larks was about 400m to the south of here, with most birds being on the west of the track between the 2nd and 3rd small square cages.
		The area of bushes east of the pumping station is supposed to be good for Desert Warbler, although all those we talked to found none (although there were other migrants present at varying times).
		They usually appeared when an Isabelline Wheatear landed on their bush.

	Oenanthe isabellina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Isabelline Wheatears can be very tricky to identify as they are extremely similar in plumage to Northern Wheatears, especially those in first winter plumage.
		Several differences have been suggested such as paler primary coverts contrasting with a darker alula, paler, more uniform greyish-brown median coverts and a pale supercilium which is boldest in front of the eye and therefore highlights the prominent fl line from the eye to the bill.
		The most reliable plumage difference though is the greater extent of fl in the tail of an Isabelline Wheatear.
