Guess the species #6

[TeaLovingDave]

There is now more than one correct answer floating around...... but how many, and which?

 

[Maguari]

1. Oncilla
2. Indian Scops Owl (not going to argue with Rob on that one - I'm useless on scops!)
3. Elegant Crested Tinamou
4. West Caucasian Tur
5. Island/Variable Fruit Bat (Pt. hypomelanus)
6. Collared Lemur

3 could be a Sandgrouse.

 

[TeaLovingDave]

Anyone else got guesses? Once I have heard one or two more attempts at all six, I'll let you know how many correct answers are floating about.

 

[ThylacineAlive]

3 could be a Sandgrouse.

I've looked into sandgrouse already. He hasn't seen any species that fit that coloration.

for number three I'm going to guess sunbittern first to get it out of my head. Then I have some other ideas.

I think TLD's list may be a little less arcane than some people imagine. I include one from left field that is a native of his home area

1 Ocelot
2 Common scops owl
3 Common eider (duck)
4 East Caucasian tur
5 Rodrigues fruit bat
6 Senegal galago

Now to mix it up: currently there are three correct answers floating around, but it is up to all of you to work out which ones!

 

[ThylacineAlive]

I'm going with Palawan Leopard Cat for 1, West Caucasian Tur for 4, and Collared Lemur for 6.

[Chlidonias]

these are my guesses. I haven't really got number three yet but I'm convinced it is a phasianid.

1) Oncilla
2) Tropical Screech Owl
3) female Lady Amherst's Pheasant
4) West Caucasian Tur
5) Island Flying Fox (Vietnamese condorensis)
6) Mongoose Lemur

Any good?

 

[TeaLovingDave]

Four correct answers now floating around.....

 

[Chlidonias]

these are my guesses. I haven't really got number three yet but I'm convinced it is a phasianid.

1) Oncilla
2) Tropical Screech Owl
3) female Lady Amherst's Pheasant
4) West Caucasian Tur
5) Island Flying Fox (Vietnamese condorensis)
6) Mongoose Lemur

6) Northern Bamboo Lemur

#6 is really a #2.

 

[Chlidonias]

my new guess:

1) Oncilla
2) Tropical Screech Owl
3) Great Bustard
4) West Caucasian Tur
5) Island Flying Fox (Vietnamese condorensis)
6) Northern Bamboo Lemur

 

[TeaLovingDave]

Five down, one to go......

 

[Chlidonias]

1) Oncilla
2) Tropical Screech Owl
3) Great Bustard
4) West Caucasian Tur
5) Island Flying Fox (Vietnamese condorensis)
6) Red-fronted Lemur

 

[ThylacineAlive]

1) Palawan Leopard Cat
2) Tropical Screech Owl
3) Great Bustard
4) West Caucasian Tur
5) Vietnamese Island Flying Fox
6) White-Collared Lemur

~Thylo

 

[Chlidonias]

new guess after ThylacineAlive's answer for number six seems better than mine:

1) Oncilla
2) Tropical Screech Owl
3) Great Bustard
4) West Caucasian Tur
5) Island Flying Fox (Vietnamese condorensis)
6) White-collared Lemur

 

[TeaLovingDave]

And Chlidonias gets the six as three people got two answers apiece, seems fairest to give the win to Chli as he pieced it together.

Incidentally, I am honestly a little surprised that the bustard gave people so much trouble!

 

[Chlidonias]

that was a tough round!

I'm about to go to sleep, so there will be photos tomorrow (say, about 12-ish hours from now). I'll try not to make them as difficult!
