Thanks, but I don't need to. The series of photos is excellent
and the bird's structure is clearly evident. All seeing it in person
would accomplish is to give me a more accurate sense of
the bird's marking color, which I would agree seems a bit
too warm and pale in most of the photos for GBBG.

Cheers,

Phil
