Original – An adult Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio melanotus) in the Wollongong Botanic Gardens.

Reason: I think it stacks up against all the quality criteria. This is the Australasian subspecies. It was put into the species article as a replacement for an existing FP, so I'm also suggesting delisting for that one. The second existing FP (in the taxobox) is of a different subspecies, and has a very different appearance.

Support although the delist nom should be handled separately. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:36, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I understand it is hard to shoot animals when they are moving, but the head seems blur enough. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 13:34, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support as one who inserted this picture, replacing that existing FP. I think I did enough homework before that. J Kadavoor J e e 14:23, 19 May 2013 (UTC)...and Delist the other mentioned above per Chick Bowen. J Kadavoor J e e 06:16, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delist and replace. That is, I support this, and I'd ask someone to add my vote, with a link back here, to a delist nom when one is opened (which it should be).
