| I have this down as a female on the basis of it's brown head and indistinct primary tips and trailing edge but I'm not 100%. The primaries and secondaries are not that well marked for a female although the outer line seems to run closer to the trailing edge than the wing coverts. Structurally very similar to the male below. |
