I love this competition, thanks to @nelinoeva for the new competition.
And this week's theme is - BIRDS IN BLACK AND WHITE
The common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)
Agree, in b / w this photo does not show all the beauty and brightness of this incredible bird.

What about these two? In black and white, it will be difficult for a beginner to make out and find differences.

The willow tit (Poecile montanus)
And here it is funny that there is no difference in color or in black and white.

The grey-headed woodpecker (Picus canus)
It may seem that this woodpecker has the perfect camouflage to blend in with the bark of the tree. But no, it is a beautiful yellow-green color.

Here's another funny comparison. It seems that these two bullfinches are the same.

But this is not the case. The first photo shows The Eurasian bullfinch, common bullfinch or bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

And in the second photo, a guest from the east of Siberia - The Baikal bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula cineracea)
Do you think this is a sparrow? Partly yes, more precisely, this bird in the old days was called the "red sparrow". And now it is The common rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus)

With regards to the sparrows. The color of the cap is not visible in the black and white photo. But you can use it to determine the type of this sparrow - The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus).
