Having finally had the time to determine the sex of these three chicks I photographed in Geelong last year, I was interested to see that they have Juvenile/Immature plumage that is the same for both sexes. I have never seen a magpie-lark with mottled plumage that would indicate a change from one plumage to another as you get with superb fairy-wrens in eclipse. Does anyone have a photo of magpie-larks in such a transition stage. Would be most interested to see it.
