Two more possibilities.

1) XY-Wing (238), pivot r6c1, flightless, with transport from r8c1 to r2c2; r2c6<>8.

2) M-Wing (38) in r2c6 and r3c1; pincer 3; r6c6<>3.

Thanks, you have reminded me of the ER's. I have almost stoped looking for them because they occur rarely. However they are good and fun. There are two ER's in this puzzle based on 3's, the one in BOX 2 removes the 3 in r6c6 and the other in BOX 4 removes the 3 in r2c3 Very Happy.
