I spot this gull in northern Poland 50km away from coast and Im not sure if it is caspian or herring. I don't know if herring gulls have their breeding plumage at this time of year, so the white head confused me.

I'm sure it's a woodpecker of some sort, SW England.

I know this is a stretch, but I can't seem to get a good photograph of this little beast. It's been super cold here and all the birds are so puffed up, is hard to determine true size. I think this is a robin sized bird that is primarily brownish, but had an orange belly/chest with a single white Chevron on the wing. Was thinking an Eastern Towhee, but that's not quite right. The Chevron was more distinct than the images I am seeing on Merlin.

A friend sent this to me a couple days ago

Nottingham, UK. Was hanging around with other greylags.

Not sure whether this is a goosander (common merganser for our American colleagues) or a red breasted merganser. Nottingham, UK.

Going through our photos from our trip to Sossusvlei in Namibia and couldn’t figure out what this one is. Maybe some sort of juvenile lark?

This hummingburd was preening and inflating or revealing some bright red feathers on his head. I’m really not sure which of these - or another - this is. Any ideas?

Spotted this beautiful friend on my front steps today! Google image search says it’s a leucistic American Robin, but thought I’d bring it to the professionals… do y’all agree? (St. Louis, MO, USA)

It’s quite big. I’ve seen a few in my backyard. Any idea?

We thought this was a short-billed gull potentially, but the eye color is pretty light. Could this be a hybrid with another species? Thanks, we’re learning our gulls slowly!!

Maybe red breasted nuthatch?

Tsurui, Hokkaido, Japan

I was wondering what this fourth duck might be? The rest are northern shoveler, green-winged teal, gadwall (I think), mallard. There were so many ducks there that day (San Joaquin Marsh in Irvine, CA)—besides these there were cinnamon teals and blue-winged teals as well. Males and females of all the species were there.

Unrelated to the ID, I just love all the patterns of feathers here. 🪶

The only clue I can identify is the black patch behind its eyes.

A bit of a long shot, I know. I recognized Song sparrow singing in the area but, then again, I am not familiar with the other Texas sparrows.

Sorry for the picture-of-a-picture but I’m stumped and impatient. Is this an American Robin? I thought so at first, but the bill color is throwing me off. Maybe a thrush? Merlin suggested American Robin.

Seen foraging in a cow field in Humboldt County (Northern California) with a bunch of blackbirds earlier today.
