Shot this Pierrot which perched on a slipper in Malaysia. Is it a Straight Pierrot?

Nice shot of a pristine butt! :thumbsup: It's still an Elbowed Pierrot though. You can see that broad black band at the base of both wings and it is 'elbowed', as in bent. The Straight Pierrot's band is straight. :)

Thanks for the ID and pointer!
