I would guess that the middle bird is a tan male but there is a chance it could be a dull white female. I have had the fortune of studying these birds for my PhD for the last 5 years and its still fun trying to tease out the morph/sex of these little guys. Also, just to add to your tidbit, white females are much more likely to sing than tan females. Our project has been going on for 25+ years and the number of singing tan females that have been recorded is under 10, maybe even less than 5.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903620492326474344noreply@blogger.com
