It was also unclear from the details if there was direct comparison with Double-cresteds to permit an accurate size determination, and it was unclear where the white patch was exactly, its size and shape, whether there was a patch on both sides of the bird, and if the patch could have been a white stain of some kind. | Not Accepted | ||||
