Margaret just wait for the right time of year. I predict you will see these
intermediate stages within the year. It is just as you would predict, an untidy
patchwork of black & white on the head. Though it isn't exactly obvious
until you look closely.

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.
