Eric, I believe, has actually solved the problem himself: the Australian Yellow Oriole was renamed to Green Oriole some years (decades?) ago, at least for use in world wide checklists. Because the Opus is covering the whole world, we are using the international name there: Green Oriole. So Australian Yellow Oriole = Green Oriole.
I will try to make the redirects clearer than they are at the moment. Niels

Thanks
Thanks for your time here, KC & Neils.
 I'm still surprised that Christidis & Boles, as the accepted authority on Aussie birds, would still use the "old" name, but I guess that would be too easy, hey.

Opus
I've just checked Opus, Neils. The new cross-reference is good. Thanks Mate.

No problem, Eric!
If you are a regional authority, you don't have to upset your local readers just because there is a bird of the same name in a different part of the world, I guess  Niels
