This is a link to a supposed Cloud Cisticola but the image is actually a female (African) Stonechat
They're both updated :t:

The following three photos are all of Brown Teal Anas chlorotis; incorrectly labelled because of an error (now corrected) in Opus.
New Zealand Brown Teal
Brown Teal [Maori name: Pateke]
Flightless Teal
Great Cormorant is correct, so I've changed the scientific name.
Pied Cormorant should be Black-faced, as Pied has a yellow face, so I've changed that one.
The other one is definitely a grebe, maybe Australasian Little Grebe by size and shape. Perhaps someone else can check this one out.
The Grebe one is odd... I'm wondering if the OP changed the picture at a later date, as the text is all about a Cormorant:-O
I just looked again and see that Mark Bruce commented on the photo when it was first uploaded. He says he thinks its a grebe and not a cormorant. Have a look at the Opus page for best match of grebe species. The OP thinks it's a cormorant fledgling, presumably because of the size.
I've sent a PM to the OP to ask him to check out his photo.
A search for Anthus spinoletta returns several Rock Pipits (posted using pre-split name). The Rock pipits need to be changed to Anthus petrosus.
Well spotted Delia - I think it was taken at Indian River, Florida!
I've moved it to the correct gallery forum. Looks like it was my fault as it may have been a previous competition entry from the looks of it.
The Gallery Search for Australasian Pipit shows a number of Richard's Pipits, particularly on the second page.
I suppose they come from a pre-split time?
Is it OK to change all of these to Anthus richardi ?
