Wrong species photo for Philiadelphia Vireo (ABA area)

I can't figure out how to access species accounts to check on photos, so:
while I was adding Philadelphia Vireo to my year list (ABA area), the photograph titled "vireo at ease" popped up on the left side as added to my list, which would be fine except that it's a classical Red-eyed Vireo, complete with the dark band separating the gray crown from the pale supercilium, which is definitive. Bill size is also large for Philadelphia. My browser records the image URL as:
farm66.static.flickr.com/65535/47075216814_b5c8eb7fc5_b.jpg
whereas something like this:
live.staticflickr.com/2644/3964542936_070810a816_b.jpg
is actually a Philadelphia Vireo.
I got the same phenomenon when adding a dummy sighting of this species to another list, so it may be the only image of this species on here.
Sorry if this is the wrong section to flag this. I can probably supply some mediocre Philly Vireo imagery if desired.

Hi Phil
These photos are taken from Flickr. If you follow the link to Flickr you can comment there for the original photographer.

No it does not. The image URL you are using points just at the image, not the original poster's page (which, after all, might be more appropriate). Also if I track down the photo at:
www.flickr.com/photos/23016207@N05/47075216814
that is All Rights Reserved. You are violating copyright law. Fix that right now.

We use the official Flickr API to retrieve images that are opted in to the Flickr API, and all are provided with a direct link back to Flickr
www.flickrhelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/440...ckr-photos-or-videos
.
The link back is missing if you view the image larger in the lightbox, which we have already reported to the third-party supplier of the Flickr and await an update so that it is shown more prominently there.

The link is also missing in the "Latest Update" smaller view that is on the sidebar of the interface I'm writing this reply in right now.

It always shows as far as I can see, on different devices and browsers. If you still aren't seeing the link, can you maybe email listing@bubo.org with a screenshot and let me know what browser you are using?
