You are doing just fantastic with those contributions. If India was bad, African must be the dark continent as far as bird coverage (and perhaps all else as well) on Wikipedia goes. Shyamal (talk) 09:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Grey Nightjar? edit

I think this File:2005-grey-nightjar-with-chick.jpg should be C. indicus - no records of jotaka breeding down south, but indicated as a winter migrant a bit into the peninsula if one goes by Rasmussen 2005. That said there was a specimen collected after it hit an ATM counter in Bangalore and died. S. A. Hussain measured and examined it with us and his view based on Ali & Ripley's Handbook was that it had to be jotaka. Sadly, never quite went into publication. Shyamal (talk) 08:26, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it is C. indicus and not jotaka. It was in my archives as Grey Nightjar as it was probably called in 2005 when I was using Grimmett & Inskipp (Don't have the book with me to verify, but I remember identifying it at C. indicus). Will undo the change in the jotaka page. Thanks for catching it. Yathin S Krishnappa (talk) 09:18, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
