- Comment: Is this just me, or does the background look odd to anyone else? SpencerT♦C 04:52, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- The photo was taken at the top of the hill, so the background is more distant than usual, hence more blurred than usual. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:34, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- Support. Perhaps some more details wouldn't go amiss, though- this looks a little different to the other picture in the article. J Milburn (talk) 13:59, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- What sort of details do you mean? The other one in the article has flash as the main source of light - which can cause iridescence and changes in plumage colour. It also may be a different subspecies, but my field guide doesn't have enough information to say in that regard. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:16, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- I was meaning male, female, juvenile, breeding plumage, etc. J Milburn (talk) 00:15, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- This is an adult, plumage isn't dimorphic afaik and breeding plumage isn't different. I did add a little to the article, but reference material available to me is pretty thin. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- The plumage varies by subspecies but the two pictures should be of the same subspecies. Sexes are alike, juveniles browner and duller. I suspect the differences between the shots reflect the different lighting. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

- Support very nice shot with very high EV. I'd go as far as to say say that this and the two other bird shots nominated at the same time are reminiscent of shots by Fir which hopefully will be taken as high praise. Cat-five - talk 20:17, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Support Nice shot from an underrepresented part of the world for featured images of birds. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
