Same flags for two countries
I noticed yesterday that the flags of Colombia and Ecuador on FC are identical. In fact they are very similar having the same colours and stripes but the Ecuador flag contains in addition a coat of arms. So this is something to be corrected no doubt.

They are similar but the colors are different.
This is Ecuador's current flag:

Re: Same flags for two countries
As ecuadorian I agree that although the colours might be equal our flag must have the coat of arms. It would be great if you can update this. You did an update also with the lybian flag, so I think it couldn't be so difficult to update the ecuadorian flag with the coat of arms. Thanks you very very much in advance for your help and understanding.

Well then, Peru and Guatemala are missing their coats of arms on the counter image too, since we're talking about this.

My opinion is that Ecuador's flag should have the coat-of-arms since otherwise it's the same as the Colombian flag, but Peru and Guatemala don't really need coats-of-arms.
There's actually been a similar debate in Luxembourg about using their civil ensign because their national flag looks like the Dutch flag, although the blue is darker in the Dutch flag.
Another pair of identical flags are Romania and Chad, although we can surmise that if that flag appears on anybody's flagcounter (and they don't have country codes turned on) it's almost certainly Romania since Chad doesn't have much internet access.

Trust me, Chad has plenty of internet access. But it seems the blue on its flag is a bit lighter than the Romanian one.

Re: Same flags for two countries
Also haiti has some kind of picture in the middle in the XL counter. I'm not sure wether their official flag has that or not.
Chad I think has a darker yellow too ;/
Speaking about same flags, there are way too much French flags
Can't we use this for St Martin

This for French Guyana
St Barthelemy has coat of arms not very far from Mayotte's one why not use it ?
(no, because....)

Re: Same flags for two countries
I think we should use that French Guiana flag, it seems to be the official one, not the FR flag.
