Comment:   Corrie, normaalweg sou ek dadelik gese het red copper, maar daardie eerste foto wys 'n gedeelte van die bokant van die agter vlerk en dit is nogal belangrik. As dit 'n red copper was, sou daar swart lyne (veins) deur die oranje geloop het. Dit is duidelik dat daar geen swart veins is nie. Daarom is die 'n Red hill copper. Die regter kantse foto is waarskynlik ook 'n red hill copper (wit X merk is meer prominent) terwyl die middel foto waarskynlik 'n gewone red copper is.
