Collared falconet? (not signed, visible in the breeding room)

I messaged the park and asked them about your photo, according to them that picture is of a Pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) but that must be incorrect?

@Daniel Sörensen It's definitely a Collared Falconet, yet even ZTL lists no Collared Falconets for Walsrode but has them for Pygmy Falcon. Very odd.

@Great Argus there are Pygmy falcons in the paradieshall also, in the first aviary if they’re still there

@pangolin12 The parks actual pygmy falcons are moved to backstage now, but there were indeed pygmy falcons in the paradieshalle 2018 and 2019 at least

@Great Argus Yeah exactly, it's definitely not a pygmy falcon at least. Are we sure it's a Collared falconet though? Black-thighed falconet (Microhierax fringillarius) is also very similar.

I hope they get put on-show anyway, I don't have photos of either Black-thighed or Collared falconets yet!

1. Black-thighed falconet (Microhierax fringillarius)
2. Collared falconet (Microhierax caerulescens)
3. Pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus)

According to a report on zootierliste, Weltvogelpark Walsrode now have Black-thighed falconet (Microhierax fringillarius).
