 * Support as nominator – Tomer T (talk) 14:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose Nice photo, for not for EV. A group photo is not best for an encyclopaedia. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:50, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support – it could be sharper, but the wow factor makes up for it. The side birds look smaller. Are they juveniles? Is this a family photo?! Bammesk (talk) 03:44, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support – Cute and visually interesting; detail at full res. seems good enough to me. – Sca (talk) 13:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support I wish I could paint one like this - DreamSparrow  Chat   19:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support I think I see Charles' point - it's rather wasted in the article - but the article doesn't seem so stuffed with images that a few angles of the bird isn't useful. I'm glad this one identifies subspecies. If only the bloody infobox image did the same.  Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 11:52, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * It is technically correct to omit the ssp for the nominate species like this one. I now put in the ssp even for nominate ssp as it makes it easier for my file naming and for VI here. As a side comment, most bird watchers do not worry about ssp when doing their tick lists and claiming 'lifers'. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:20, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * A good point. Hm. The advantage of this is the variety of angles and behaviours, the big disadvantage is that, at thumbnail,none of that comes out very well. It's almost an image better as an FP than in the article. I'd support it on commons, think I need to think a little more here.
