I started looking at 2s, and never stopped until the puzzle was solved.

Flightless m-wing: (2=5)r2c3-r3c2=(5=2)r8c2=r8c9-r1c9=r1c45; r2c5<>2
6-cell RP(25)r4c7+r2c7+r2c3+r3c2+r8c2+r9c1; r4c1<>25
coloring(2);r6c9<>2
Multi-coloring (2); r1c9<>2
xy-wing(24-5)r5c41+r9c4; r9c1<>5=2

Digits 2 and 5 were certainly where the action was!
It would be a stretch to call this move a flightless s-wing with extended transport...
Code:
(2)r1c4=r5c4 - r6c5=r6c89 - (2=5)r4c7 - (5)r56c8=r3c8 - r3c2=r8c2 - r8c5=r1c5 ; r1c5<>2, r1c4<>5

Not a stretch, even extended s-wing would be OK in my opinion. Do we use different names for a remote pair of four cells and one with six cells?

Nice find ... whatever the name.

Peter, very nice find indeed Exclamation

Ron, I try to stay out of terminology issues and do not usually post names except for the basic patterns. I also provide more info about a basic pattern such, as "6-cell RP(25)r4c7+r2c7+r2c3+r3c2+r8c2+r9c1; r4c1<>25". Hopefully, if I provide sufficient detail, a move is then understandable and the name is irrelevant.
