Comment – It's hard to capture feathery detail when the species is black. Posterior portion of bird thus appears jet black. Sca (talk) 13:45, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Are we sure this is not a hybrid though ;P? We don't want a repeat of "Starlinggate"; the scandal, the scandal! Belle (talk) 00:10, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, this is not a hybrid but... they have white feathers both wings side and the backside of the tail. But from this angle, mostly these are hidding. And when flying, the white feathers of the backside wings are beautiful :) --Laitche (talk) 00:40, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's very pretty; go and shout at some in the street until they fly off and you can get a photograph like that.;P Belle (talk) 14:38, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ok, I will try but that shot which you are expecting is very difficult unless I get lucky :) --Laitche (talk) 16:07, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Low resolution, background too dark/a bit noisy and not attractive, the bird deflected on right side. Exploringlife (talk) 04:42, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
