illustration problem

Overall, it's a nice illustration of the bird in flight, but there is one problem: The inner primaries should be slightly darker than the outer primaries and the secondaries (as also mentioned in the text). This might seem like a minor issue, but as it is one of the main features for separating it from the remaining species in the genus, it is a bit more problematic. A photo showing it well can be seen here. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to modify the illustration, but am posting a comment here, just in case someone who does checks it.

Thanks, I will try and fix it over the weekend. Shyamal (talk) 03:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Photos

I have added a photo. Please check the ID is good and also check this one and similar photos by the same uploader at Flickr. Is this the right species? Richard001 (talk) 07:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
