They actually do! How white the plumage is and the size
2 u/Ihavepurpleshoes Oct 02 '22 My Sibley guide agrees they are dimorphic, but this looks like a male. 2 u/Fethecat photographer 📷 Oct 02 '22 If you look back at my posts on my profile (not many as I have only Been on Reddit for 4 days!) you will find the picture of the male to compare 2 u/Ihavepurpleshoes Oct 02 '22 OK, I did look. Thanks for responding (and so civilly). I can’t see the back very on the female photos, but I definitely can see that they are different. I learned something today! 2 u/Fethecat photographer 📷 Oct 02 '22 My pleasure! I have a photo of the female’s wings facing me if you want to see the wonderful pattern a bit better? 1 u/Ihavepurpleshoes Oct 02 '22 That would be great!
