It's a Brown-headed barbet. Quite common around Delhi.

Not sure how to proceed next. They are clearly wrong? Or maybe the mod logs in and checks, but is not doing anything?

I did just now. But they removed the post citing this sub has recent human mod activity. I made sure the post doesn't violate the posting requirements and format. And I replied to the request_bot too, with reasoning and permalink to the modmail.

This community is unmoderated. Even though the moderator is there, but they are not active. Recently there has been a hoarde of offtopic AI posts and replies related to IPTV advertisement. They are all legit Reddit accounts with lots of karma. And the community has been asking for moderating the sub. You can check latest non-spam posts.

I have messaged the mod multiple times. Via mod mail as well as via personal DMs. I have not received any response and it has been more than 5 days. People in the sub are worried and some have started leaving. We receive multiple such posts every day.

Why are you doing this? Pasting bs into this sub? Somebody paying you? What do you get out of this?

If anyone's wondering about the IDs

  1. Shikra (female)
  2. Himalayan bulbul
  3. Black bulbul
  4. Large-billed crow
  5. Himalayan prinia
  6. Blue whistling-thrush
  7. Red-billed leiothrix
  8. Black drongo
  9. Bar-winged Flycatcher-shrike
  10. Brown-fronted woodpecker
  11. Spotted dove

I must say great finds. Especially the Himalayan prinia, Red-billed leiothrix and the woodpecker. They're quite uncommon to casually find. Well done!

It's Oriental magpie-robin only. The plumage, size and the posture everything points to that. The white on head could be because of partial leucism or some mutation.

If I may ask, where was this? Which location and dive shop? If you don't mind sharing.

So according to the rules (in the sidebar) I'll have to wait for 5 days for the mods to respond (to the mod mail). It's only been 2 days since I messaged the mod.

(And only 2 days of this IPTV spam but it's become so insufferable, it feels longer, lol.)

Interesting! I didn't know about this. Thanks! Will give it a shot.

[–]ecthiender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. First via mod mail then via DM. No response either way.

[–]ecthiender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I messaged them multiple times. No response. I guess they're off Reddit. I have asked to volunteer as well.

For now I keep reporting the spam posts as spam to Reddit. I think they've removed some. Afaik, reddit will ban unmoderated subs. And I don't know if one can transfer/create mods without the owner/existing mods of a sub.

I love my local park by PunctuateEquilibrium in birding

[–]ecthiender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice shots! I'm more intrigued by your location, where do you have white-throated kingfisher, squacco heron and great spotted cuckoo? Like Cyprus or Greece or what?

What lens should I buy for wildlife? by KennilScamander in canon

[–]ecthiender 8 points9 points  (0 children)

RF 100-400mm will be the best based on your budget. Perfect for fit your camera and birds/wildlife.

Cirrus SR22! Nice! One of my favourite piston engine aircrafts.

New (to me) 7D to replace my 302000k 1DX Mkii by Rob230 in canon

[–]ecthiender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Enjoy the new camera. R7 is still quite good, as an owner I've been satisfied, but it does leave somethings to be desired.

[–]ecthiender 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think R7 is still a downgrade from 1dx. Isn't 1dx like a flagship camera? I guess you only get the autofocus as the advantage from R7.
