I am reviewing my Spindalis images and have read (and reread) a number of older notes on Butterflycircle on the separation of these two, and it still does my head in.
I would appreciate confirmation that all of the following are S. lohita (based on the width of the pale areas in the outer margins, as well as the orange tornal areas). I can actually not find any images of S. seliga in my photos which I find strange. There is a question mark over the last image which might be S. seliga?
Locations are given in the header of each image.
With thanks
