I tried to get a photo of Black-Yellow, but she's pressed against the wall on the roost support behind two other birds.
Pretty smart, actually, if you consider it good protection against any chill a partially-featherless bird might be experiencing.
Most of the scruffiness is at the rear so you can only see a generally-disheveled look. I wasn't going to disturb everyone to pull her out from back there.
Slightly better pictures of Black-Yellow. (And a photobomb by a flockmate, who molted much more gracefully earlier this fall and wants to show off her new feathers with the improved lacing).
I still can't get a good photo of Black Yellow in her ragged glory. She never stands still.
