Azure-winged Magpies and other common errors

You may have noticed our recent post about Azure-winged and Iberian Magpies . We will be adding to this shortly with other common mistakes, so please add any you may have noticed to this thread for people to check.

Hi,
Noting your reference to Hepatic Tanager, I'm seeing this species name show up in other lists/authorities well south of Nicaragua.
Also, when attempting to change in my Costa Rica list, Tooth-billed and Red Tanager are unavailable under AOCR (the only authority available for CR).
Thanks for clarifying.

Although our AOCR Costa Rica list is not completely up to date, I note from  listaoficialavesdecostarica.wordpress.co...ista-oficial-online/ that they haven't adopted the split officially. That probably applies to other authorities too, although anyone following IOC taxonomy should be using Tooth-billed and Red Tanager.

Actually it is currently IOC only: Clements/eBird still use Hepatic Tanager.

Thanks for adding more light and for all your efforts, Mike!!

This was very useful, thanks!
(But goodbye to my hepatic tanager....)
