I took the picture a few days ago
here you can see the difference in how the light makes the color completely different on the owl.. this one is from this morning
although it may not be the same owl?
well I don't know .. at least I suspect it is
the difference shouldn't be in plumage and appearance between female and male .. but here it is the light that makes the difference ?
I cloned a small branch above the owl on the left
