I agree John (strong super extending past the eye, pale patches on upperparts 
too large for Green), but you can see where some confusion may lie on this bird 
- that looks like a very clean and sharp demarcation on the breast, which is 
good for Green Sands. Could be an artefact of the angle of the image? It'd be 
nice to see all of the legs too.
