Over at the Tree of Life wikiproject we like to have people upload photos of any species they don't recognise and we try to identify them before dispatching them to a suitable article. That hasn't come under threat yet as "original research" but I fear it is only a matter of time.
I don't see what's original research about this. The worst that could happen is that the label (that is, the article it's assigned to)could be inaccurate - but that could happen to any information contributed to Wikipedia. If someone later on finds a better image that they're *sure* is a Four-horned purple-bellied lizard, then they should replace the doubtful one.
