New species for Opus (2 Viewers)

two more or not quite

I have added two more to the gallery, actually one new species: Christmas Island Imperial-Pigeon:

And one race, the quite distinctive golden (Christmas Island) form of the White-tailed Tropicbird:

and

The regular white plumage occurs there as well, and there seem to be many mixed pairs. Thus it's clear it's only a race or even just a color variant. A very nice one however.

Sorry that I could not get them any closer. They were so fast and my camera only managed to get them in focus when there was a bit more time due to the distance.
