I agree with GB first, third and fourth opaline spangles Link to comment

I never understood how you guys could tell the spangles at this stage, but those two main tail feathers look very clear to me. Link to comment

The reason i say spangle without being able to see the tail pins is that the wing pattern is very similar to the others. Link to comment
