Lappet colour

The Bronze-winged jacana is described by Hugh Whistler as having a frontal lappet that is "livid" in colour. Livid is bluish-grey and that is what almost any photograph shows. Rasmussen & Anderton (2005) have it as red which seems to be in error - as only the base of the upper mandible is red. HBW has seen the problem and seems to have decided that the lappet turns red during courtship - and there is no photograph or description that has this. I urge anyone to make careful observations and read the literature carefully and to not add these doubtful descriptions into the article for now. Shyamal (talk) 11:50, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm disappointed that Ramussen and Anderton appear to have screwed up here. Here is a photo of a bird at a nest with a livid shield: http://www.orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?action=searchresult&Bird_ID=1198&Bird_Image_ID=3627&Bird_Family_ID=&p=14 -Aa77zz (talk) 10:47, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
