  @Charlesjsharp: Morning light at wintertime... the light is warm and smooth. --Ivar (talk) 13:26, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

  Don't think so. An hour after sunrise. I'm sure others will Google Tawny-crowned Honeyeater and let's see what they think. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:33, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

  @Charlesjsharp and Cmao20: The color temperature of daylight varies with the time of day. It tends to be around 2,000 K shortly after sunrise or before sunset, around 3,500 K during "golden hour", and around 5,500 K during midday (it can also change significantly with altitude, latitude, and weather conditions). This calculator shows, that the sun was at shooting moment at alitude 9-10°. At this sun's altitude the daylight has a color temperature 3500 K, which is defined as light of the "golden hour". --Ivar (talk) 10:15, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Abstain Charles makes a good point, I won't vote till it can be established whether the colours are correct. Cmao20 (talk) 22:12, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Support It's IMO probable that the bird actually does look like this during golden hour. I still get Charles' point but overall I think we should trust JJ Harrison's judgment that the colours are OK Cmao20 (talk) 06:57, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Support see second and third birfd in first row here: [1] they look very similar to the FPC here. Seven Pandas (talk) 23:21, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Support It's not surprising for white feathers to look yellowish in golden hour sunlight. Good photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:48, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
