how do u tell the difference between a paraguay ternz and a normal ternz?

Terns from Paraguay generally show more of a humeral spot. Argentina normally don't . Other than that, they are all Terns or more accurately, P. nattereri.

Its basically all in the water (chemistry) where they are captured. Yellow may be more predominant in one area from another, but that alone will not decide if they are Paraguay or Argentina. Thanks for your input.

sorry, off topic and i dont' wanna create my own post. i know that terns are basically p. nats, but if people wanted to make it a valid species, what would they have to show, prove???

Its not that simple and "prove" is not a good word to use in science.

Check out the OPEFE under P. nattereri>>>>>>>link "S. ternetzi." Then you can read and hopefully understand why the name "ternetzi" is not a valid name. Its lengthy explanation and something, I dont' have time really to get into. But do read the page. If you have any questions then, more than happy to answer later.
