The Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) defies its name, as it is quite a colorful little bird. While it does indeed have light and dark grey feathers on its back and wings, its breast and tail feathers are a glorious lemon-yellow. They sport a grey cap with a yellow stripe across their eyes. Males and females are relatively easy to differentiate. Males have bright-yellow breasts, and black bibs. Females are less yellow and don’t have a black bib.
