Common or Mottled?
Sorry it's another Pug question. Don't you find these Pugs exciting!. I have this down as a Mottled but would like some more expert views. Calling all Pug experts!
Hi Steve, Mottled Pug and one you should really get used to because it is one of the "easier ones" (if there is such a thing with pugs!). I've added a modified version of your picture to show the diagnostic feature, which is the two straw-coloured breaks in the outer band.
I'm certainly no pug expert but for what it's worth I'd record that as a Mottled: you can clearly see the two pale streaks on each outer wing

ReplyDeleteThanks both. Roll on the faded ones!.
