City of Belokurikha is an independent city and city district (Gorodskoy Okrug)
in Altayskiy Kray. Its flag is a banner of arms.

The current coat of arms was adopted on 11.05.2007, together with the flag.

Two of the best sources about Russian flags are "geraldika.ru" and "Vexillographia
(Russian Centre of Vexillology and Heraldry)"
It is strange that, even
informing in the text about the adoption of the city flag: "... In the upper
white stripe there is an image of a blue mountain with three peaks, whose middle
peak is higher and. .. ", they present a different image of the flag (without
mountains and different stripes).

In "Vexillographia", see [Алтайский край] and go to [город Белокуриха], the
image is the same.
What is your opinion: A mistake? A variant? An earlier
project?

I think that this version is a suggestion by the Heraldic Council, but photos
show the version with peaks, although in much lighter colours.

This was a mistake in the official text. The first project for a flag did
have the image of a blue mountain. Later, the image was modified but text in the
document was not corrected.

I checked again and can say that the flag with mountain is in use. You can
see it on a video from 2018 Olympiad of the Cities, the second video, at the end

Very interesting! When they sent their flag to the Heraldic Council, they
used a variant without a mountain (and the image in the official Decision sent
to Council was without a mountain). May be Heraldic Council forced them to add
the mountain (?)
