Media notes
A dark morph migrant perched on top of a conifer. This individual was identified as Japanese (or Eastern) Buzzard based on structure and tail banding. Dark morphs are however very poorly treated in the available literature and notoriously hard to identify as both the similar Long-legged and Upland Buzzards have very similar looking dark morphs. The white shafts in the primaries would actually suggest either of these latter two but for me the tail pattern is conclusive. Further comments would be appreciated. Elevation: 3307 m. Date added to IBC: September 16, 2018.
