"Seeing rare birds where there are none: self-rated expertise predicts correct species identification, but also more false rarities"
Nils Bouillard, Rachel L. White, Hazel A. Jackson, Gail E. Austen, Julia Schroeder

The authors tested 3000 people on their bird id skills. Whilst the self proclaimed experts got more correct, they were also more likely to misidentify birds as rarities.
The test they used is here
