Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.  Have not seen any reference to a grey phase Kestrel
before.  Any suggestions of a reference to check this out?  I still stand by the
GF call (now *really* based on size) but would like to check out the Kestrel
option to be 100% sure of myself - even though I thought I had been.

Glad I posted this now.  Thanx.
