    Think it's one of the UK Northern birds, as it still has the tan colour on the back.

    Really don't know enough about the different versions, it certainly shows that patterning for UK birds in the Birds of the Western Palearctic guide.

    That is very possible, Laura, as it has a very light-coloured head!

    Apparently the head of the Northern species is very nearly white!
