I'll see if I have some other photos but I think that is the best one. PS Yet another Yellow Cardinal on the shelves today but we're reaching the bottom of the barrel as regards mounted birds and quite soon I'll be moving across to the drawers of skins which are much younger (only a century old or so!) and much better labelled as regards ID, location etc.NB I'm going to look closely at the Blue-naped Chlorophonia (Chlorophonia cyanea) as it doesn't show a lot of the colours on the wild birds but perhaps they've faded and blackened over the decades.</blockquote>
