"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?
Malcolm Wilton-Jones
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
