I realize that people now want "their" photo to be on the page but it might be good to temper such enthusiasm especially when a very large number of images exist on Wikimedia Commons and a small subset needs to be picked for the article. User:مجتبیٰ insists on using File:Asian_openbill_or_Asian_openbill_stork.jpg which shows an immature (not lack of bill gap) in flight rather than the older one File:Asian Openbill In Flight Habitat Kolkata Outskirt West Bengal India 09.09.2014.jpg which shows the colours much better on an adult. As the main researcher who put in the text I have taken some effort to make the choice of the images but would be happy to have the rationale for a change so that it improves the article rather than reduce it as this image does.
