funny things stick in the birding memory; back in 1970 as an RSPB youth volunteer staying at Leighton Moss I recall an issue of Birds magazine arriving with a painting I think by Eric Ennion on the cover and it showed a male Chaffinch with a bright green rump; I thought do Chaffinches really have green rumps as I did not recall seeing it before -- but then you have to look harder thats why artists are such good observers
