- Comment I prefer this one to Fir's other shot that is used in Purple Swamphen, in large part because of the detail on the legs. It doesn't appear that this image was ever used at that article. Rather, it was in Pukeko until being removed on Jan. 6 for the following reason: "show bird from NZ in introduction sized to 300px - previous one was from Australia." I guess that's fair, since the article says "Pūkeko is the common name, derived from the Māori language, for the Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio) in New Zealand", but this image is far superior to the current lead image in that article.

- It would be better if it wasn't off-topic. The article's subject (Pukeko, i.e. Purple Swamphens in New Zealand) has changed from what it was previously (the subspecies, whose range includes Australia), better reflecting the article's content. This is still a good image - could it claim a spot in the Purple Swamphen article, perhaps? --Avenue (talk) 13:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

- Comment At the time of nomination there was only one article, Pukeko. I was unhappy about calling the bird article by something other than it's common name. WP:NZ people disagreed. The result was a split into Pukeko for all of the NZ-centric stuff, and Purple Swamphen for information about the bird. I wouldn't mind betting that the Purple Swamphen article creator just used the other image for a bit of variety. Consequently I've put it in Purple Swamphen.
