Masked Wagtail Motacilla alba personata

Two types of calls Kyrgyzstan 16.7.2005. First, the bird calls from the ground with a call which was strange to us (nominate alba does not use it, but we heard it several times from personata during our trip), then flies away with a call which is similar to a "normal" flight call, but a little sharper and more metallic.
