Romy,
I commented this plumage variation in the other gallery. This is an adult male in eclipse plumage - going into molt.

The throat of this bird doesn't exactly match the illustration of the male OBS in the Kennedy Guide, so I could be mistaken and this might just be a female OBS. Comments or corrections are welcome.
