Spotted Eagle Owl for me FWIW, yellow eyes are a supporting feature.

They are variable with a 'grey morph' being regular.
FWIW and I'm no expert but this just looks like a regular Spotted E O to me?
Given that some authorities lump Spotted and Greyish, identifying a hybrid might be pretty impossible?.

And who will do our daily unique species stats now that Paul is abroad? I will certainly be suffering...

Not away till next week.
In the meantime, am I right that IOC:-
2753 Black-faced Waxbill - Estrilda erythronotos
2342 Black-cheeked Waxbill - Estrilda charmosyna
Are eBird/Clements:-
Black-cheeked Waxbill Estrilda erythronotos
Red-rumped Waxbill Estrilda charmosyna
All the best

Stripe-faced Greenbul (Arizelocichla milanjensis striifacies), Taita Apalis (Apalis thoracica fuscigularis) & Taita White-eye (Zosterops poliogastrus Silvanus) are all IOC splits were Noah has seen the eBird/Clements species.
As a result, I get 500 'unique' species.
All the best

Without checking,given the alignment of the scientific binomials, I'm sure you are correct!

As far as I can see, there's no such conflict between IOC and eBird/Clements (2014+)...
Estrilda erythronotos = Black-faced (eBird/Clements 2014+, IOC, H&M, HBW) = Black-cheeked (eBird/Clements pre-2014, BirdLife)
Estrilda [erythronotos] charmosyna = Black-cheeked (eBird/Clements 2014+, IOC) = Red-rumped (eBird/Clements pre-2014, BirdLife)
[H&M & HBW don't split E (e) charmosyna.]
Presumably Noah should have been using eBird/Clements v6.9 (Aug 2014) and v2015 (Aug 2015).

Many thanks. Probably my error when I input Noah's list onto an eBird/Clements checklist. Some of the names were challenging to tie up. I'll iron out the error tonight.

Arjan is now at 2.806 species and is nearing 50% of Noah's species number - and that at the end of April!! It is really a great run that he does...

Bah humbug
So, seeing as he still has a couple of months to go in Africa, was wondering how many species he could potentially get, and compared to how many Noah did get ...
Africa list c.2584
( http://www.birdforum.net/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=3167550
)
Obviously he can't keep the pace up that he has set in the first few weeks for new species ...
Paul - I know you did a % of species seen for each area at some point for Noah, but couldn't find it on that thread. I did find this - http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?p=3337354 - which details additions for each African country he visited and indicates Noah added 1140 new species overall in his African leg.
Arjan seems to have added 657 new species so far (287 for Ethiopia and 370 for Kenya so far) in 21 days ...
