Hi Joseph! Please can you add the scientific name so that we can take this off of the "unknown" list & add a link (wikipedia etc) to the references. Because we have a global user base & sometimes many different common names for the same species, the system will continue to show a spotting as unidentified until the scientific name has been completed.

I can't stop staring at this bird. So tiny and beautiful!
What does it mean the red bill? Because I was looking at some pictures and I saw other ones with black bill, or red and black bill, but I couldn't find a reference for it.
