I have just read about Dollarbird plumages in HANZAB and it states that
moult from juvenile to immature plumage begins soon after leaving the nest
but it is not known when finished. Adult plumage is attained at about 12
months of age. So I stand corrected - the bird could easily be an immature
by now but isn't likely to attain adult plumage until next Spring-Summer.
