Collared pratincole identification and differentiation

The species Glareola pratincola is differentiated from Glareola maldivarum by its longer tail (extending up to or beyond the primaries on a perched bird) and the presence of a white trailing edge to the secondaries.

Further, Glareola maldivarum has darker upperparts and more extensive orange-buff wash on the breast and belly. The throat patch in Glareola maldivarum is rich orange-buff.

The red in the base of the bill in Glareola pratincola is more extensive. The bill is somewhat thinner and sharper. The inner webs of inner primaries are distally paler.

In adult summer plumage of Glareola pratincola, the lores are comparatively paler. The black and white throat collar is sharp and narrow. The black in the tail is extensive.
