Allen,
That looks like a perfect match! A google image search indeed shows the
bird but obviously in grey/gray (e.g.
http://www.pbase.com/james_lowen/image/82538827). The alula and black mask
are diagnostic.
I am flabbergasted by the efforts of someone using photoshop to
deliberately mislead people.
Well done, and thanks for your help!
Cheers
Anthony
