8182 Pander's Ground-Jay (I've been waiting to play that one)

I think that's probably gone under Great Myna (might want to check)

Thanks but my 'Birds of Thailand' guide book shows it as a 'White-Vented Myna' and has know reference to a Great Myna anywhere but apologies if my source was incorrect.

HI Trevor,

On the Cornell/Clements checklist, the name was changed in 2011. Other checklists were already using Great Myna at the time. Here's the Avibase entry online.

I still call it White-vented Myna too, if it's any consolation. I think most lists call it Great Myna these days. Loads of birds have more than one name, which makes this game a bit of a challenge sometimes!

Named after people - 8183 Ward's Flycatcher.

I was seriously hoping someone could follow this with another misspelt mammalian bird name ... ;-)

(Nice!)

Sorry...!

Sorry...!

I'm sure that's a separate thread - there can't be too many options, played or unplayed!

8184 Lafresnaye’s Vanga, named after a person

Sorry, been travelling today, so not hatch chance to update.

Numbering is slightly off due to a few duplicates (Brown-capped Weaver, Grey-throated Leaftosser)

Next number to play is 8183

Thanks for the clarification. Not sure if I can delete my post.

Your issue there is the missing hyphen.

I recommend having a look through the reverse list (the second sheet) to see what's left. I'll tell you that there is basically nothing left (outside of Hawaii) that's a US regular.

There's a couple: Slate-colored Fox Sparrow and Townsend's Storm Petrel (Which is regular in Southern Calif.)
