Review (criteria)	Oppose This can as well be the egg of a duck or several other species of egret. Visually indistinguishable. The discussion has no been held neither. พ.s. 22:32, 19 September 2011 (UTC)  Comment I agree that apart from the ornithologists it is difficult to recognize an egg. But the interest of this label does not lie in photography but also on how it brings. Here each egg was picked up by an experienced ornithologist and is registered in a public collection. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC)  Support I think, that all critera for a VI are fullfilled. Similarity is not only a problem of eggs, there are a lot of sibling species which one can barely distinguish. Is it therefore forbidden, to nominate pictures of sibling species as VI? Or only eggs with charcteristic spots? I think no. This is not quite an egg, it is an egg of Bubulcus ibis, and that's it value. --Llez (talk) 16:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)  Support per Llez -- George Chernilevsky talk 08:29, 23 September 2011 (UTC) Result: 2 support, 1 oppose => promoted.
