Experiences with species

Indigobirds are most easily distinguised by their bill and leg colour combinations, although these do vary considerably. Twinspot has a white bill and orange legs. It has a greenish sheen when seen at the right angle, although this and distinguishing between orange/red and pink in the legs is not easy!
