Yesterday I took a chair and watched for an hour. There
seems to be only one representative of each species, being good examples of
each. Even with only binoculars this Spotted is easily distinguishable with
bright pink eyes and legs (v the greenish yellow of the Spotted. The
Spotted's shadowed ('masked') face is also fairly obvious. If
seen by itself, the Baillons is the only one that is pale below (whitish
in sunlight)
