Thanks for posting. Yet another species I am not familiar with. The Dutch call it Maskerschijnpaapje but I don't think any birds of ths species were ever exported to Europe, and if they were certainly have not stood the test of time there. I have been unable to find any reference to this bird in Europe. Would love to post this pic on a European forum though. Cheers, Case
