It looks like the taxobox image was changed from the "before" image to the "after" image to the right recently. The "before" is a featured picture, and the "after" is substantially blurrier and poorly lit. It seems like a significant downgrade to me, however as I took the "before" picture I'm reluctant to reinstate it myself. Starting a discussion here with a couple pings to the primary contributors of this article, Craigthebirder and Jimfbleak for opinions. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:18, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

And a ping for Couiros22, who made the change. From the edit summary, it sounds like a dispute over which subspecies to depict? That does not seem to me as sufficient justification for such a reduction in quality. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:22, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Rhododendrites: I can't see any reason to replace a FP, but I'll wait for Couiros22 to comment before taking action Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:45, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

OK, done Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:58, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
