Hi Buzzard, the spotting is seen as unidentified if the scientific name is not included. If you know the organism, it is quick to find the scientific name with Google which almost always will lead you to Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-chested... It would be really helpful if you can add the scientific name as well. Thanks for your co-operation.
