Three of these beautiful creatures visited our lawn this morning - we often get fleeting visits at this time of the year. This plumage, with the apricot/buff breast is not shown in most of the bird books I have consulted with the exception of the Mitchell Beazley Pocket Guide with Peter Hayman's excellent illustrations. Are they juveniles, as I have always supposed, or could they be autumn females? (Picture taken through the kitchen window)
