Oh my.... he is lovely Luis.

Can you help me please? Your picture here shows a bird with much clearer face markings than the one you have on The Opus page. Would that one be .... a young bird..... a female..... the other subspecies?

I would like to add this picture to the article, but not sure whether to swap them, or keep the other one on the page.
 
Dear Delia, is an adult of the same specie. I take the picture on a cloudy day and I was against the light, so me be that is the difference. I recently upload a video in birdforum.tv of this bird. Thanks for your comments.

Many thanks for your quick reply Luis.

I think, then, I will replace your other picture with this one as the face markings are so much clearer.

Wonderful work my friend.
