Smaller than Common brown, and flies slower.

Trevor, it looks like your second photo could be a Common Brown, might need to remove that one.

I think you are right, unfortunately it wont update after deleting the photo in edit. Might be a system problem there, ill try it again a bit later to see if i can delete that photo.
Cheers.
