Hi Alan,

thanks for your input.

I would still describe the tailband as sub-terminal, it being closer to the tip of the tail than to the rump. It  is closest to the tip of the tail at the edges rather than at its centre.  So, it is about 5mm.  from the tip at the edge of the tail and about 10mm. at the tail's centre.

The grey terminal band therefore varies in width from about 5  to 10 mm..

For those that haven't seen it, Nevil Lazarus'  photos are available on ozbirdpix which is easily found via  google and presumably other search engines. Yahoo will also find it. One of the photos shows this blue band well.


Regards, Andy
