Several upper scapulars replaced recently for blackish feathers, probably 3rd gen.
Primaries P1-P5 moulted for 2nd gen, P6-P10 are still juvenile. All secondaries fresg 2nd gen as well and all tail feathers 2nd gen, moulted during winter. Those new tail feathers most lack obvious sub-terminal black, actually a bird with most white in the 2nd gen tail, recorded at Tara.
