Change to Blue-capped Hummingbird??

Yup.

All of these "S&M base" names with one supporter (Clements or H&M) are changes you can take straight to "Nomenclature Changes" - I like to add the note "per S&M base (Clements supports; H&M doesn't)."

For the most part, only sticky 3-way disagreements to really worry about.
