5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 06:04, 28 August 2015 (UTC).
Neutral, age and length for the blue are fine; no evil text sinning (always difficult to avoid duplication of terminology, but where possible it is done); QPQs done; picture free to use and pretty; the prep builder that doesn't use it would be a fool; the original hook is a bit confusing (we wouldn't necessarily expect the lovely cotinga to be blue; if it wasn't lovely we'd be in business), so the ALT is preferred (even though sexual dimorphism isn't uncommon). Unfortunately (as far as I can see) the lovely cotinga article is nowhere near 5x expanded, so you either need to drop that (don't do that because we'll lose the lush pic) or expand it some more (it needs to be 2080 characters according to DYK Check's calcs).

- You are quite right, the second article was insufficiently expanded. I have added some more information and it should (just) be OK now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:32, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
