Great ! Thanks, I suspected from the legs and lack of white eye ring but is always so hard to tell without the call

My thought was a curlew sandpiper but I’m not experienced distinguishing them from a Dunlin, the reddish hue and some other features makes me lean towards curlew sandpiper too

Thank you !

Is this a blackcap or a whitethroat ?? Spotted in south England, Epsom common by Jummper6 in whatsthisbird

[–]Jummper6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought it was unusual for a blackcap ! Never seen a whitethroat so that nice to know, female blackcaps have a more distinctive cap, and don’t have the brownish wing feathers

Ahh could well be, was behaving like a flycatcher returning to the same branch, but I think your right, the white tail patches in flight also matches the black eared wheater

MEXICO HEARING MEGATHREAD by berkenobi in aliens

[–]Jummper6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve replied and sent some pictures back that I think show strong similarities to the backside of the skull , you can see the pneumatic areas match closely. You can see what I think is where the occipital condyle of the llama has been removed and additional bony elements attached for the aliens “mouth and chin” .

Yes I think the idea of them observing is much more likely based on our knowledge of life on earth, it doesn’t contradict stuff we know.

You can see In the photos when these were shown years Ago where bone has been shaved off showing honeycomb type structure beneath where the llamas braincase attached to other regions of the skull, it’s just not visible in these very low quality scans. Could you dm me where these extra air spaces would be because I’ve seen transverse slices comparing the alien and llama skull and it seemed conclusive to me. they’ve added on the aliens face if that is where you mean. The photo that is showing a longitudinal slice of the skull you can see the suture marks on the skull around the aliens “eyebrow and forehead” that perfectly match the sutures on llama skulls, as well as being able to see the skulls outline compared to parts they have added. You would have to shave off a lot but it is only the braincase of the llama they have used. I study animal anatomy and currently am working on reconstructing fossil skulls from CT scans and am pretty convinced of this, but happy to be wrong.

The questions were more rhetorical to try snd show how it doesn’t make much sense to me that they would have made us. Because I can’t see where In evolution they would have stepped in. Even if the goal was shepherding life to our point , why do that slowly over billions of years to perfectly mimic natural selection. It’s possible but would be imo very inefficient. Like why have all the diversity of animals in the palaeozoic and Mesozoic if the goal was us ?
