What a name! A what a beautiful bird!

Only the 4th image of this species to be uploaded in the history of our Gallery.

Nicely captured!

Thanks!
Speaking of, I spoke with THE_FERN, who is quite knowledgeable about the birds of that area, and we both think that the photo that currently illustrates the opus page for the hemispingus is actually a Pale-legged warbler.
Do you know who we could get to check that and possibly have the photo re-identified?

Hi Thibaud

Many thanks for uploading your picture of this rarity... I'll add it to The Opus article shortly.

In the process I'll re-name the currently display and incorrectly identified image of the warbler. Hopefully some of the IDers can confirm the ID for it.

Many thanks again lad.
