Just noting that there is an extant FP of this species (that is below the current minimum resolution). blameless 05:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it has not been used for many years. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:19, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We can do the normal "run a delist after". The image by Charles clearly should be the lead - it's a very strong photo - but I'll slightly disagree with Charles' dismissal of the old FP since there's a gallery on the species page full of kind of... snapshotty images, and I think we can put the old FP in it and improve the gallery. In fact, I used it to replace the much more dreadful File:Karettschildkroete 01.jpg. But that's off-topic: Evaluating whether the old FP can replace an image in a mediocre gallery doesn't lessen the value of Charles' image, which deserves to be the lead. And hence, support: High detail, good angle for identification, and, while the water does slightly shift colours, not much we can legitimately do about that.
