Fairy Flycatcher (1 Viewer)

Why does it say 'Alternative name: Fairy Warbler'?
This is a name totally unknown to me for this bird. I looked it up in the Roberts VII, and it makes no mention of it either. (Nor does the SASOL Birds of Southern Africa.
 
Hi DuQues

If you look at this page in Avibase you will see that this species has been called Fairy Warbler in the past by various authorities, so the Alternative name is included for completeness.
