Chestnut-crowned antpitta
The chestnut-crowned antpitta (Grallaria ruficapilla) is a species of bird in the antpitta family, Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. It is around 18 to 23 centimetres (7.1 to 9.1 in) long, with a mass of 70 to 98 grams (2.5 to 3.5 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies G. r. ruficapilla have a rufous crown, nape, and face with an olive-colored back, rump, tail, and wings. Its throat, breast, and belly are white with ochraceous edges on some breast feathers, and olivaceous and blackish streaks on their sides and sometimes their breast. This chestnut-crowned antpitta perching on a branch was photographed in the Río Blanco Ecological Reserve in Manizales, Colombia.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

About me

Not much to say about me really :) I am in the UK, which is going to naturally affect a few things. My politics are going to be somewhere to the left of the USA and somewhere to the right of Laos. I try not to let that influence anything I do here. I am subject to UK laws which does affect things, I don't really deal with fair use copyright claims, and I don't recognise first amendment claims. These are just examples. I am going to speak funny, spell some words strangely, use idioms you might have to look up, and employ British humour. At the same time, I am familiar with many international experiences and perspectives. I registered this account in 2005, and could write back then, so I am at least that old. I don't possess any pronouns, and yours are probably going to involve the singular they. I am not paid by anyone to edit or perform any other actions. If you receive any request for payment mentioning my username then it's a scam. I don't use this username on any other (non-wikimedia) website.

Notes for other admins

I am currently an admin and checkuser (along with some other stuff). Other admins should feel free to adjust or reverse any admin actions I've made, as long as they understand the basis and consequences, with the following qualifications. First, any action I've marked as a checkuser action is based on non-public information and should not be adjusted without consultation with a checkuser. This is actual policy. Any checkuser will suffice, but you might want to start by consulting with me. I would also add with respect to checkuser blocks, revoking TPA (or maybe email) is usually fine but adjusting parameters or anything else you really should at least let me know. I try to be very precise and deliberate in any action I take. Second, I frequently deal with other private or otherwise unstated information, involving institutional knowledge, LTA cases, and private requests. I'm working on improving my communication skills, but I don't always make clear what's going on for various reasons. If you don't fully understand what's going on then I'm usually happy to provide as much information as I can, and if required, to refer you in good faith to people you can check with or appeal to. If in doubt, just ask. And in any case, please just let me know. These principles, although directed to admins, also apply to regular editors.
