Buntings are Tougher

You will recall earlier this month seeing a photo of a young Sparker with a worm around his neck.  Well, here is a photo of that worm’s grandfather taken in 1961 (Penang) around a bunting’s neck.  The red coat was worn as protection as the snakes pedigree was ‘Agro’.
For you sparkers.  Who is the young bunting in the picture?  Please advise by leaving a comment.
