Yep, I think that's a pretty safe call. Have done.

We have recently needed to update NatureMapr taxonomy to split this species into subspecies (which has automatically updated this to the potentially wrong subspecies). @Liam.m would you consider this sighting to be Melanodryas cucullata picata?

Well, I think since we are talking in “could bes” and no further evidence, other than Darcy being there on the ground, the safest is to consider having this one as unconfirmed. Confirming species we are not sure of and it turns out to be incorrect can have flow on effects for use of that data later, in things like regional modelling, land management decisions and species-climate change predictions. PS everyone should get into GIS to do these types of analytics- it’s fun I promise.
