Autumn criterias are still applicable, though 2cy are more affected to wear during the winter than adult. Moult contrast present in the wing of 2cy, generally among outer GC (or between GC and PC) and sometimes also in RR and TT. Adult birds show a uniform plumage without moult contrasts.

• Often show moult contrast in outer GC: Slightly worn post-juvenile inner GC are denser, more neutral grey and often clearly longer than the notably worn juvenile outer GC that often show loose and pale grey-buff tips. A few show less extensive moult and the contrast is then found on the inner part of the arm. Others have included all GC, and the contrast is then found towards the still juvenile and worn PC.
• Juvenile RR are slightly more pointed and more worn than adult ones. Many individuals have moulted single or several RR and then exhibit moult contrast among RR. Note that a few individuals include the whole tail in the post-juvenile moult.
• 0-3 TT is included in the post-juvenile moult. Post-juvenile TT are slightly worn and more grey (males) or greyish-brown (females) than the notably worn brownish juvenile ones, and the latter also contrasts well to the moulted inner post-juvenile GC.
• Juvenile PC are generally less dense, more dark brownish worn in tip and centre and less brightly coloured in the green/grey outer vane.

• Uniform plumage lacking any moult contrast.
• Whole wing and tail slightly worn, but still in better condition than juvenile feathers in 2cy, with denser feathers and better gloss.
• Tips of RR generally slightly more blunt and broader.
