ImageIO.read() can't read some images

I have a GIF image and try to read it into BufferedImage.

public class ImageReadTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        f(new File("/Users/hieugioi/Downloads/Photos/butterfly.gif"));
    }

    public static void f(File file) throws IOException {
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
    }

}

It shows errors:

The "butterfly" image got from this open source project:

enter image description here

It succeeds with other regular images but it fails with this image. Is it image problem or API bug?

Solution
