Rewrite edit

Maybe it can be rewritten betterly, in better order, check spelling, more info etc. more in line with style guidelinesQrc2006 23:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

factual error? edit

actually, it is the lack of a white stripe which is distinctive. please see the (now redundant) page i created in wikipedia a few days ago (and references therein):

yariguies brush finch (no hyphen)

Subspecies name edit

If this is a new species why does it have three latin names, the way you describe a subspecies? Isfisk 21:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Some dumb journalist got it mixed up, and now it's all over the news as a "species" (oooh... colorful new birdie species!). See the other YBF page here.
As another trivium, it was discovered some 2 years ago... takes some time to make sure it's new, write up the description, and get it into print. Dysmorodrepanis 22:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
