São Tomé Giant Seedeater
I think it is a good name but suspect that few 'authorities' or field guides will adopt a name with two descriptors, so would opt for the best single descriptor. On balance and given 'São Tomé Seedeater' is so anonymous, I would greatly prefer Giant Seedeater. This would mirror both Giant Sunbird and Giant Weaver so there is a neat symmetry there as well.
cheers, alan
