so the odd one out seems to be the ID suggestion during upload on the app.
there are 2 possibilities i would look at:
- it’s possible that the suggestion during upload in the app doesn’t incorporate the location properly to boost the nearby suggestions. you can test to see whether there’s a difference here by clearing out or adding a location to see if there’s a difference. for example, in the web uploader, if you change the location (the coordinates, not just the description) of your poppy observation from Martinez to San Diego (or if you clear out the location altogether), you should see slightly different suggestions.
- it’s possible that the app is providing a slightly different version of the photo to be evaluated by the computer vision. something similar was happening here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/did-something-change-with-the-ai/20834/14. you could try resizing your photo, and see if that makes any difference in the suggestions you get.
