WOW!!! Oh my word what a beauty he is! We don't see this one very often in here do we Stanley!!!

I'm presuming your one is a different subspecies to the one that's already on the article, with a much greener head? I'll upload this image there shortly.

Many thanks for sharing this lovely picture with us my friend.
