Geographical variation
3 subspecies winter in Africa or the mediterranean region and can be watched in the Iberian Peninsula during migration: arctica, schinzii and alpina. In hand, the bill length and the intensity of the plumage coloration can determine it, but in the field it is extremely difficult due also to the variation of these features between both sexes.
