Grapes being cheap I have been tossing a few in the direction of the intermittent ‘skkrahh’  in the backyard shrubbery to draw out the grape-eating transient lurking there .  I take this to be either a first (possibly second) immature male or a sub-adult female for the following reasons

 

-          The general appearance is not of an adult (female)

-          The bill is wholly blackish ruling out a male older than 2

-          It appears to be in moult

 

Any other views welcome
