Oenanthe lugens

With the ongoing influx of black and white male Pied Wheatears, it'll be interesting to see if we continue to pick out this charismatic species - in which both make and female alike sport black and white plumage (unlike Western Mourning Wheatear, aka Magreb Wheatear in which the female is very different).
