[edit] illustration problem
Overall, it's a nice illustration of the bird in flight, but there is one problem: The inner primaries should be slightly darker than the outer primaries and the secondaries (as also mentioned in the text). This might seem like a minor issue, but as it is one of the main features for separating it from the remaining species in the genus, it is a bit more problematic. A photo showing it well can be seen here. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to modify the illustration, but am posting a comment here, just in case someone who does checks it.
