IS-3
6ISSF, mostly geographically spread. Plumage varies, with male noticeably different in breeding and eclipse. Notably, eclipse for male is not similar to female so clear differences. Female varies with breeding being slightly warmer/rufous-er but hard to tell in field. M/F differ, see above. Pre-camera, given location was Iceland likely Northern or Eurasian.
