Can you zoom out a bit? It almost looks like the oil gland

 

[Miss Lydia]

Where is this on his/her body? I am thinking oil gland too.

It is right above his tail feathers I can get another picture later but what should i do if it is an oil gland

 

[Miss Lydia]

It sounds like it's his oil gland and most likely it's okay but yes a good close-up of this would be good.

if it's his oil gland you shouldnt have to do anything, but another photo would help us to confirm that it's all good
