Description

The mantle is grey, throat is black. Differs from alba, dukhunensis and baicalensis by the narrow black eye-strip connected with black nape. This black strip separates the white forehead and supercilium from the white ears, under eye area and neck sides. White edges on greater and median wing coverts and tertials are broader; white on the wing is more extensive than on dukhunensis.

Distribution

Rarely occurs on migration in southeast Kazakhstan (12 May 2003, 13 May 2009 in Kolshengel, 11 April 1899 in Kapchagay).
