Oppose. It's an excellent photo, but in my opinion the EV is rather poor, since the distinctive orangey wash on the belly and vent, which is one of the most conspicuous features of this species when seen in the field, is mostly hidden in the shadows here. Compare, for example, File:Sayornis saya2.JPG (which is also in the article), or File:Say's Phoebe (24691191368).jpg. The previous lead image was also pretty muddy, and I think MER-C was right to replace it. But I don't think this one is the best choice either, at least for encyclopedic purposes.
