Species identification topic

I need an ID on this fish figure!

Any guesses?

Very nice figure! To me, it looks like a Rockfish, but I'm not entirely sure. I don't know the brand or any official information on it. This is still an excellent find regardless of what it is.

It looks like a sunfish in shape, something like a crappie or a warmouth, but I've never seen anything with that color pattern. Perhaps a fish that looks like this exists, but if so I don't know it.

There are clownfish with roughly that kind of colouring, but that's not a clownfish body.

The body is kind of 'generic perch-like fish' that I'm sure I've seen many times in different paint schemes, but never nailed down to species.

I think I’ve nailed it on the head guys. Juvenile harlequin sweetlips, but wrong coloring.

Looking now, I think you are right about the sculpt. But I still maintain the paint is a clownfish.

You know what I think? I think it is simply a male Phasianus Colchicus, a Common Pheasant. Look at the crest at the back of its head and the long central tail feathers with the short tail feathers on each side of them.

It could be, thank you :)

I have been stumped for a while on this butterfly. It is a largish figure (9.0 cm wingspan). I bought it at a gift shop in a state park in Georgia years ago. Given its size, one would assume it is modeled after something specific. Two possibilities are Caligo uranus or Thauria aliris, but for both of those the white on the forewing should be a band, not a cloudy spot (and in the former, the forewings are usually more blue, but they can fade to brownish-black in old specimens).

@BowheadWhale do you recognize it?

Why not an Eurytides ariarathes ?

Oh Christophe that looks even better, thanks!!!!!

It is a great pleasure if I could help a specialist like you Blaine

and following that lead has resulted in some other options: Eurytides branchus and Biblis hyperia.

Indeed, especially Eurytides branchus could be the winner

What you think are the specie of these ducks, mallard or american black ducks? They are from a Ertl set from USA.

I would say American black ducks

Thank you, i think so too. But i wanted a second opinion before i open that. Because with mallards ducks i think i would sale that set again.

Probably the figures was not made from a specific species, but generic "wild duck" with mix of characters of various species and unreal characters too. However, they match much more with American black duck than with Mallard.

Thank you.

Do you think the blue and the red figure in the left corner is a gazelle? And if yes, what brand? I believe from cereals

If they are looking to migrate,

They are not mine. I missed that auction.

Those antelopes look more like nilgai than gazelles to me

Hi, got this frog from my daughter. But I have some troubles to identify a species which fits with this one. Maybe it could be a Rocket Frog species:
