Titel: Species uncertain. Identification help requested.
Beskrivelse: This bird was found on June 05, at Lågskär, Åland, Finland. It was ringed and reported as an Iberian Chiffchaff. This identity has been questioned. More information, discussion, links to additional phots and sound recordings in the netfugl forum on identification/fuglebestemmelse.
Dear Finnish and Danish colleagues,
On a Dutch birdforum the question was raised if this really is a Robin (Erithacus rubecula) and not some eastern Nightingale (Luscinia sp.), perhaps Blue Nightingale (L. cyane)?
I am hoping for some explanation regarding the white breast..

Dear all my colleagues,
Thanks all the comments about this picture. I’m still sure that this bird is “only” normal European Robin. All European Robin description match this bird except color, only red color missing. I don’t know why, that you should ask someone who knows. I’m not ringed this bird, but I was assistant Lågskär birdstation in Finland when we saw this bird.
I put more pictures in my own website. Please click this link, write robin and click search.
