- Reason
- Previously nominated, but it didn't get the attention it deserved. Charismatic and high quality shot used well within its article. Already a FP on Commons. Note that I have copied the caption almost word-for-word from the article lead.

- Comment given the amount of room for additional images, why not add this to Estrildid finch.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:49, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- One reason is File:Red browed finch02.jpg is a better image. — raeky (talk | edits) 03:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Don't like the angle, the branch blocks part of the bird, see File:Red browed finch02.jpg for a better angle. — raeky (talk | edits) 03:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Support I don't find the angle particularly distracting, and am maybe a little worried that if we standardise angles and poses too much, we'll accidentally hide some types of information, like how it grabs onto the branch. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- is the way this bird grabs a branch unique or notable? — raeky (talk | edits) 13:37, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- No, it is not, so far as I am aware. I also disagree with the standardisation of angles; the question simply has to be whether this angle shows what we want it to show; in this case, to show what the bird typically looks like; this includes, not only appearance, but behaviour, habitat and so on. I feel that this image does show that to the level normally expected of FPs. J Milburn (talk) 16:15, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

- Support Obstruction by the branch is not that significant, IMO. Besides that, a very nice photo. Jujutacular T · C 18:40, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
