I stand corrected - so different from the adults - I have never seen a juvenile.

As with all my nature photography, if in doubt about the identity of my subject, I always google check it.

I use inaturalist - also the information gets recorded. I was amazed by how many things I photographed in Colombia were identified by inaturalist - many of which I had no idea what they were.

I use their Seek app. They do a good job.

It is great fun when you shoot something that you cannot identify and have to wait till you see it on the big screen at home..
