🙂 Thats a good way of getting this straight, – you’re photos are getting so much better 🙂 after I think you got a new camera for Christmas 🙂 ??
The males are right I am sure, – the females, I think too, – except the last one, – I dont know if I would be totally sure about that one. It could be female, but perhaps also could be a ‘pale’ male.
If we get this sorted out, I might bring this serie somewhere in the species article, – its good documentation for sexing linkei

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot, Dorothee for those pictures. It makes life way more easy to have a bunch of pictures that show the same sex compared with others. Usually, you only get one or two pics in which you dont find all the differenciation factors and characteristics…
