Jacana - no idea which one

Northern Jacana is supposed to be in Western Panama and north from there. Wattled is supposed to be in West-central Panama and east and south from there. Given that Gamboa is at the Canal in Central Panama, Wattled Jacana seems to be the most likely one. Disclaimer: I used the Clements checklist for the range data, and given the world wide scope of the book, there can be errors in that.

I've three choices here then:

1: Leave Jacana in plain text
2: Changing it to 'Wattled'
3: Have both Wattled and Northern, as it seems both might be possible

If no-one comes in with a 'definite' I'll see how brave I am later;)

Thanks both - Wattle it is then.

you saw a Wattled Jacana if it was Gamboa.

I wish:-O :-O it's just a difficulty in an Opus article I'm trying to sort Cedric.
