Comment: The article seems a little over-illustrated, and there is not a single mention of the ducklings. Quality-wise, this image is there, but in the current article, it is adding little. Perhaps contact

I have to completely disagree; in no way does one each of male, female and duckling constitute overillustrated. IMO that's perfect, and even if it had 20 images, if this were the only one of a duckling then it would still be important. If the article doesn't currently mention the ducklings then that means the image is even more important.

I agree that where a species' appearance is variable a well illustrated article will have representations of all the different ways it can look. Having a male, female and chick is not over illustrated, for this species it could probably have a male in ellipse plumage and a juvenile bird too. It would be great if the article was longer, and with as many featured images as this has it may well be worked on soon (but bear with us, there are lots of birds that could have better articles!).
