I agree completely with Mikko's point of view. I think that the IBC is to be like a natural history museum, but with digital specimens instead of skins. In a traditional museum, some specimens not in good condition are kept, particularly if they illustrate aspects not well covered already in the collection.
This is an extremely bad picture, but let it serve to show the color pattern of this ssp, as there are no other pictures of that ssp in IBC.

Thank you Mikko!
