Note the extent of the black cap: the third bird is an adult male, the other two are hatch-year males growing their black cap.

A very nice series of photos, and I appreciate the added information on identification, an area where I sorely lack expertise!

I feel a tad less ignorant but a whole lot impressed and stimulated by this beauty. Amazing patience to have the birds pose for you!
