I will say background contrast is better in JJ's, but it's limited by the bird itself being so many fewer pixels. I'd be inclined to try to keep this one as a secondary photo in the article, though I think Charles' has to be the lead. It's at least a different angle that shows other details. It's unused at present, though, so unless something happens, it's not going to matter much Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.9% of all FPs} 11:51, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make this fun I've reprocessed from the RAW and reuploaded with full resolution. Now the old FP has more pixels, more detail and doesn't have a distracting background or half the head noise reduced to blur. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:27, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That... is a challenge. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.9% of all FPs} 13:11, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I struck my vote. Also, the nom image was added [1] to Chestnut-headed bee-eater earlier today. Bammesk (talk) 14:08, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Aye. By me. I figure it's worth considering. There's three images in the article, and, admittedly, that's probably too many. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.9% of all FPs} 15:01, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing the two, the busy background of the new FP isn't ideal in this case, IMO. Bammesk (talk) 16:04, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it sticks, consider this nomination withdrawn. MER-C 03:12, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There isn’t enough support to delist this image, which is still used in Chestnut-headed bee-eater. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 19:48, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
