Menetries's Warbler
Syliva mystacea

(Above) Irkayya Farm, Qatar, 23 February 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

The striking all white chin and throat combined with the greysih blue upperparts and contrastingly grey head gave cause for a thorough inspection. The arrows point to contrast in the age of the inner secondaries, indicating a first summer (second calendar year) male.
