As long as we are talking common names, I am hoping if redpolls are lumped we just get "Redpoll" as the new common name. there is no need for a modifier if there is only one "redpoll".
Amen to that. "Common" as a modifier is really a waste of space and breath which conveys no useful information, anyway, whether it's a raven or a redpoll.
