 * Oppose -- i consider this image to be considerably worse than the already existing image for Black-winged Stilt and the shelduck above (same photographer, i see ;). mainly i can't distinguish any feathers in the over-exposed areas on the head and side of the breast, and it has some chromatic aberration along the back. i know white/black birds are notoriously hard to photograph, and this is ok as an illustration of the articles, but not as a featured photo. piranha (talk) 07:43, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Support It's my understanding that this photo is of a White-headed Stilt, and the picture mentioned by Piranha is of a Black-winged Stilt. I think this is quite an interesting distinction. TehGrauniad (talk) 19:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
