New phone...question about pics in gallery

[thunderup]

I got my new Moto X a few days ago, upgrading from the 2013 X. I haven't had any issues and really like it so far. I do have a question about the pictures in my gallery, though. I used the camera for the first time this morning to take a picture of my kids before school. Once I took the picture and swiped over to view it in the gallery I was given some message about a better shot being available...or something to that effect. I just clicked 'ok' quickly because I was running late and didn't have time to pay attention to it. Now here's what's weird - I now have 2 pictures with the same file name, but one of them has _TOP at the end of the name. I thought it might have something to do with Google's auto-enhance feature since I have my pics auto-upload to Google, but only one of the pictures shows up in Google+ on the web, and in the Motorola Gallery. They both show up in the Photos app on my phone, and they both show up in OneDrive since I have them auto-upload there, too. I'm royally confused and hope someone can shed some light on this. Is it some sort of 'best shot' feature the camera is using? Google+? Photos app? Any way to re-create that message so I can actually read what it's telling me this time? Thanks for your help!

Edit: Actually, they both show up in Google+ on the web. I was looking at highlights instead of All photos. The only place only one of them shows up is the Motorola Gallery.

I believe the camera app will provide a better photo just before and just after you tap to take the photo. Since it felt it could give a better pic it gave you the pop up and tapping ok lets you keep both photos. I had this happen the first time I took a pic as well but cannot seem to get it to work after that.

Since there are 2 photos on the phone gallery it will sinc to all your online storage like G+ etc.

Thanks for your reply! I just discovered it is indeed the Moto camera/gallery app that's doing it. I went to the gallery and tapped on the photo and this popped up:

When I tapped the button in the lower left-hand corner it showed me both the original and better photo and lets me keep only one if I so choose. Mystery solved!
