Hi Keith,It is a juvenile, rather than an immature, Golden Whistler. A juvenile is a bird still in the plumage that it had when it left the nest. Immature birds are those that moult from juvenile plumage into a plumage which is different from the adult plumage. Not all species have immature plumages as some moult directly from juvenile plumage to adult plumage. Regards Greg Clancy |
