Support, although I'd rather see an image that actually showed the red tail. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like any of the ones we have that do show the tail are high enough quality at this time (this is probably the best of the bunch). --Ahecht (TALK

Comment Although this is a super-quality shot, a juvenile from this PoV does not have high EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:28, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
