G'day Dimitris,
I'm not real confident your bird is baicalensis, looks more like a first
winter female leucopsis to me.
Your last photo shows the rump well enough to indicate that it is
effectively the same tone as the tail for as far up the centre of the rump
as is visible. The shot showing the head turned away shiows that the grey on
the head is identical to that on the back so it is unlikely to be a male as
was suggested on Birdforum.
Cheers Jeff.

Heya folks,
After consulting the literature and the wisdom of the internet I believe
that the White Wagtail that we observed at Point to be of the race
baicalensis.
Photos of the bird here:

Comments and pointers are appreciated. How many times has this race been
recorded in Australia?
Cheers,
D.
