Please describe your suggested enhancement:
This shield has both parties argent field. It might worth a check.

Can you provide an example blazon?
Party per pale argent, an eagle displayed sable dimidiated per pale, and argent 
a wolf salient sable.
Gules, an eagle displayed double-headed or, dimidiated with chequy argent and 
azure. (Double-headed, but one head is shown due to dimidiation... it is 
questionable if it is needed at all, being that it would be a horror to display 
an eagle decapitated in this shield.)

Can you provide a link to a picture of a shield showing your enhancement
attached

Please provide any other information that you can
"Dimidiated," "halved;" applied to animals, birds (especially eagles), 
fleur-de-lis, &c., of which only one half is shown, in consequence of the field 
being party per pale. When only two half-charges are joined together, e.g. a 
rose and pomegranate, they may be blazoned as "a demi-rose conjoined with a 
demi-pomegranate."

Only supports dimidiated on whole shields at the moment, rather than individual 
animals. Will add this.
