Motacilla alba subpersonata (Moroccan Wagtail)

Synonyms: Motacilla subpersonata

Wikipedia Abstract

The white wagtail (Motacilla alba) is a small passerine bird in the wagtail family Motacillidae, which also includes the pipits and longclaws. This species breeds in much of Europe and Asia and parts of north Africa. It is resident in the mildest parts of its range, but otherwise migrates to Africa. It has a toehold in Alaska as a scarce breeder. In the British Isles the darker sub-species the pied wagtail (M. a. yarrellii) predominates. The white wagtail is the national bird of Latvia.
