I think I know what y'all are calling a white earlobe, its the flash hitting the small feathers that cover the ear hole. The red earlobe I see is below that, and kinda folded up a little bit. But if you enlarge the photo, you can see it.
I understand what you are talking about, that is where I was looking, but it is showing up white on mine. The color on my computer must be off, i will try and get it fixed.
