At the top, two Painted Storks are depicted, with white bodies, black markings, and accents of pink, orange, and yellow on their beaks, legs, and some feathers. Annotations include "white", "orange/yellow", "Pink/crimson", "Black & white", and "Pink". It is captioned "Painted Stork / Trivandrum Zoo 22/2/07".
