Observation details
Possible first reported sighting of this individual of a heavily mottles green and yellow male. Beautiful patterning and almost 50% mixed. Located on zodiac tour. Bright yellow dot on steep slope high up. Tossing seas and distance to bird I am amazed at the decent photos of this individual. One aberrant colored individual with mottled yellow and green coloration. Apparently parts of the plumage are missing the brown pigment in the normal green feathers leaving only yellow feathers in some areas. This features were over ~80% of the green feathers. Paired with a normal plumaged individual. Constantly feeding on Moss?? on slope. Associating closely with a normal coloured female.
