Oppose Uploading from iNaturalist means you might not have got the best resolution available. And it gives us no EXIF. The image is too dark and if it was lighter I think you might find it is too soft and possibly noisy. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:34, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- On the other hand iNaturalist gives you scientific value. Lupe (talk) 16:52, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think so. iNaturalist is a website for wildlife amateurs. It is, like Wikipedia, a great place to look, but I find many errors there. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:04, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- The Research grade images are georeferenced + time-referenced and have at least 3 identifications with at least 2/3 agreeing. The resulting datasets can be quoted with a doi making them usable for scientific papers Lupe (talk) 20:16, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Not so. iNaturalist's Research grade is a junk description. iNaturalist is like Wikipedia - a great place to start with for an id, but not one to rely on. Don't you think this reptile is Basilicus vittatus and not Basilicis plumifrons? Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:33, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- The color of the juveniles is different from the adults, so I also looked both at B. plumifrons & B. vittatus juveniles and B. vittatus has pretty clear latereal stripes I don't see here. B. plumifrons usually has white dots I don't see here, but it also says they can be missing. The distribution range matches for both. --Lupe (talk) 21:15, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- I would put money on B. vittatus, having seen many live B. plumifrons in Costa Rica though I have never seen this species. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:43, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not gonna take your word for it. Give me the literature references and I will change it Lupe (talk) 15:04, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose in a similar vein to Charles. This doesn't measure up to the bigger, sharper amphibian pics we've been promoting lately. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:59, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- it's a reptile Lupe (talk) 20:02, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reptiles, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:24, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Ikan and Charles. --SHB2000 (talk) 23:41, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
