Incidentally, BOURC and Dutch Birding still seem to be alone in adopting a much broader Emberizidae (equivalent to H&M4's superfamily Emberizoidea).

And which should be called Icteridae, I'm afraid...

(Subfam. Icterina Vigors 1825 [OD].
Note that this name is not available from [this earlier work by Vigors] (as claimed by Bock)--"Linnaeus should have placed in one and the same genus the Icteri, that belong to the Sturnidae, and the Orioli that come naturally among the Thrushes": Icteri means Icterus spp., Orioli means Oriolus spp., interpreting as a family-group name a word that is used "merely as a plural noun or adjective referring to the members of a genus", as is unquestionably the case here, is explicitly forbidden by 11.7.1.2.
Similarly, in "Their bills are in a slight degree shorter, and seem to approach more closely to those of the Emberizae and Fringillae", on p.192 of the work introducing Icterina, Emberizae means Emberiza spp., Fringillae means Fringilla spp., both being, again, generic names used in the plural and not family-group names. Thus Bock was wrong on this one as well, as he claimed a family-group name based on Emberiza available from this work; there is none.)

"didn't even know how to spell juvenile properly, " Said Nutcracker. I am sorry if this was posted somewhere else but Howell agrees. We also recommend that the term “plumage” can be used more widely than the definition proposed by Humphrey and Parkes (1959), and that the term “juvenal” can henceforth be replaced by “juvenile” in molt and plumage literature.
