Haven't caught a RKF at UP-Diliman yet..... good catch, Manny. The white spots could be reflections off the shiny part of the head?

I'm obviously an improvement of our race (my granny's genes), as my top is not as shiny as my grandpa:  |

Hey... we're going off topic here, let's talk about Manny's bird - say its red belly..... ooops, not that, not the underparts or anything that involves bellies and shiny heads.
Let's talk about the BG instead!
