Hasan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It's a Cooper's. It's a bit hard to judge the nape color- here the clincher is structure and shape, it is not 'bug-eyed' enough for Sharpie and notice the rounded tail. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
