White Wagtail (or Black Backed Wagtail) in Darwin

["Andrew Bell" <>]

I photographed a wagtail at the Leanyer Sewerage ponds in Darwin yesterday
evening. Only managed to get a brief look and fire off a couple of quick
photos in poor light before it flew off and I was unable to find it again.
Had initially assumed it was an immature yellow, but now I am home in
Katherine with my photos unploaded it has a white forehead, a black band on
the breast and a white wing patch. Did not see it usefully in flight, (I had
my head down to set up my tripod when it flew).  Niven McCrie thinks it is a
probably a white wagtail, race ocularis, I wondered about black backed
(lugens). I am back in Katherine but others will look for it tomorrow. I can
send photos to anyone who who is interested
cheers
