Because it is highly characteristic of this particular species (is is this feather which gives the species its name of Great Spotted Woodpecker). --MichaelMaggs19:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'd rather have an image of a bird and not an image of a single feather. Commons have quite a few images of Spotted Woodpecker, which illustrate not only the spotted feather, but also a bird itself.--Mbz120:48, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
