Four faces
editCould someone clarify what is the fourth face? Phnom Penh? The Bassac River, Mekong and Tonlé Sap make three and the source seems to be unclear on that. Brandmeistertalk 16:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- The Mekong upstream and downstream the Bassac-Mekong bifurcation form a face respectively.--Toter Alter Mann (talk) 14:40, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Previous categorization
editWhat was this thought to be, before being determined to be a separate species? -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 01:11, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
- It was not previously classified (it usually takes a couple years between discovery and classification). --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:57, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
- I mean, what was this bird believed to be. I am assuming that this bird has been observed many times, considering it's found in Phnom Penh, with a long history of French scholars living there, but no one noticed it was different from other birds of the area, so it would have been categorized as some other bird. -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 00:42, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- The journal entry tells us that this bird is most closely related to Dark-necked Tailorbird. When the bird was found in 2009 during the checks, it was thought to be the Ashy Tailorbird and not the Dark-necked Tailorbird because of its plumage. Tentinator 05:24, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
