White Wagtail
A Chinese White Wagtail (Motacilla alba leucopsis) captured in a typical pose right after the sun has set on a stream side near Kathmandu, Nepal. White Wagtails are very common during the winter months in the Kathmandu valley and can be found at streams, rivers, and on flooded fields.
The Chinese type leucopsis is probably the most commonly found subspecies, but there are at least six other types that occur. Juvenile birds and hybrids can be particularly hard to categorize. #birdersnightmare
