I do too! I like the black water droplet like spots going down the front and the heavier looking eyebrow ridges.
Thought it would be fun to compare this one to the White Faced Scops we spent all week admiring to show the diversity of the Otus genus and highlight why it got split up a few times over the years. With WFS (Ptilopsis) in Africa, Giant Scops in far East Asia (Otus, the original genus), and the Screech Owls (Megascops) you can tell just by looking at them they are pretty significantly different.
There are still 56 species of owl today that are still in the Otus genus, so between them and the handful that have gotten their own new genus, that’s a lot of Scops!
