CLOSED: CLOSED: ID anyone?

These photos were taken this morning 10/25 in a small bay-side park in Fukuoka, Japan. They were foraging for insects in an open, grassy field. The first picture is I assume, a male and female, the other of the female. I noted that the tail feathers were pointed, which is somewhat rare. This bird is not in my field guide, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a few guesses but will not print them here.

One of the Stonechats?
Lovely photo with that fanned tail!

Thanks Ms Edens. I also thought it was perhaps an eastern Siberian stonechat, but was unsure because of the pointed tail feathers. Upon further investigation, I have found out that first winter birds have them, so I am leaning in that direction now. There are six subspecies.

The Japanese name is easy: ノビタキ

The scientific, and English name, is less easy!

In old books: Common Stonechat Saxicola torquata
In new books: Siberian Stonechat Saxicola maurus
In next years books, and on up-to-date websites: Stejneger's Stonechat Saxicola stejnegeri

The pointed tail feathers means that it is a young bird (hatched 2014); this applies to a lot of passerines, that first-year birds have more pointed feathers than adults.

Hey Resin,
Thanks for the ID and extra information. Birds will be migrating through Japan soon now. Very exciting month, November is!
Let me know if you ever decide to visit western Japan. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu

Thank you!

Hey Resin - Beautiful photo, of this bird, but no ID? Unfair. Is it a type of Kingfisher? We count on you to know everything....

Fellow bird lovers,
Need your assistance once more if you can. Took these photos of a bird of prey this morning, 12/29/14 at an elevation of around 300 meters in Fukuoka, Japan. Got within about 100 meters, but then it saw me a flew off. I couldn't give you a good estimate of it's size. Unable to get any really clear shots of it's head, but perhaps the tail, legs, and back will hopefully be enough for an ID. After checking the photos in the field, I thought the white spots would help in identification. Japanese birds of prey are notoriously difficult to approach. this one was no exception. Perhaps it is an immature? It flew of in level flight with regular wing beats. Not rapid like some falcons.

Thanks, Kawasemi

An Accipiter species, I am not sure whether Accipiter nisus or Accipiter gularis.
