Personally, I'd go for Asian on this one - isn't the head/upper chest and shoulders contrast a readily discernible and reliable feature? If so, this clearly points to Asian, and the tail looks "light and bright". I'm a bit less sure about the ones posted elsewhere which have been discussed by Dave Diskin and Mike Leven, amongst others. If there are Japanese amongst them, they're not the most easily separable ones I've ever seen. Mike Turnbull.
