In which case I'll Oppose, as this image doesn't depict even the contemporary description. I'd much rather the current lead image be an FP, its EV being very high. --WingtipvorteX PTT 21:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • The sketch, according to the article, is the chief source of information on this bird and obviously has much higher EV than the 1907 tracing. Unfortunately our version is halftoned and must have been scanned from a book, but I'm sure a better version of it would be promoted easily. Chick Bowen 00:19, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
