This should be moved to just "Snow Petrel" - under the taxonomy section it even discusses the subspecies "confusa" which is (by the lack-of-authorities who believe it to be a full species) "Greater Snow Petrel". Using "Lesser Snow Petrel" is misleading and incorrect.
Clements, H&M, S&M, SACC, and IOC all agree on just "Snow Petrel" for "P. nivea." None of them place "confusa" as a full species either.
