    Default Juvenile Mockingbird?

    Not sure what this little guy/gal is - I took the photo along the Panhandle coastline in Florida this morning:

    I think you are right Ian. The overall gray colouration, white in wing, longish tail give it away.

    100% Northern Mockingbird - but not convinced a juvie though. Looks more like a well worn and molting adult.

    You could be right Daniel. The immatures show a spotted upper breast but obviously can't see that here. it certainly is a very worn bird and in that case I agree it is more lightly to be an adult rather than a young one, which would show nice new feathers.
