Original – An adult Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio melanotus) in the Wollongong Botanic Gardens.
Reason
I think it stacks up against all the quality criteria. This is the Australasian subspecies. It was put into the species article as a replacement for an existing FP, so I'm also suggesting delisting for that one. The second existing FP (in the taxobox) is of a different subspecies, and has a very different appearance.
