Forfot to show my bird the very next morning and same property. I believe the inside band of feathers are called coverts. A really good comparison. The center fan is a true Rio from northern California. Right one is the Merriam I got last spring. Notice ther difference in colors on ther inside band. Tips are pretty much the same.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
