"Malcolm Wilton-Jones", that's okay... I'll remove from the Yellow Mission... And, I'll too read the FAQs again, with more detail. Tahnks for the help ;) And sorry for the confusion.
That picture also shows orange, not yellow! As its name implies "burnished buff". It should also be removed.
"Malcolm Wilton-Jonesone", one aspect of this species is the golden-yellow color of the plumage of the male. It is a yellow a bit off, but even so, it is still yellow, not orange. Even the common name of this bird in Brazil is "Saíra Amarelo" ("Yellow Saíra"). Look another picture of a another male that I photograph [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19754183 ]. Right?
Also, you are still not abiding by our FAQs http://www.projectnoah.org/faq The Description field should be describing what you saw, with details of size and colour, not copies from text on other websites (which is illegal anyway) . The habitat should be a description of the habitat where you made the spotting, not where textbooks and other sites say it should be found.
"Malcolm Wilton-Jones", the male is yellow and black, isn't?
Please remove these from the Yellow mission, there is no yellow in this spotting. Please read each missions guidelines before adding spottings to them.
I had managed to photograph a male and had managed to photograph a female. But it was the first time that I photographed a couple of "Tangara cayana" together. :D
