 * Oppose for now. The photo is great, but I think the EV isn't adequate yet. The article says there are two subspecies, which differ in plumage. Male plumage is also apparently more colourful during breeding. The Purple Finch article doesn't say anything about the latter issue, or specify which circumstances apply to the bird pictured here. Details on the image description page indicate that the photo was taken during breeding season, within the range of the eastern subspecies, but we shouldn't impose this sort of detective work on the reader. --Avenue (talk) 12:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
