Typical individual showing all new tail, secondaries and primaries, a white head and underparts, and a plumage consisting of worn, plain brown wing coverts and scapulars intermixed with adult-like blackish feathers. Compare primaries to the 3cy graellsii/intermedius in plate 3; this bird too shows second generation primaries, but they are much more worn.
