Four faces

[edit]

Could someone clarify what is the fourth face? Phnom Penh? The Bassac River, Mekong and Tonlé Sap make three and the source seems to be unclear on that. Brandmeistertalk 16:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Mekong upstream and downstream the Bassac-Mekong bifurcation form a face respectively.--Toter Alter Mann (talk) 14:40, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Previous categorization

[edit]

What was this thought to be, before being determined to be a separate species? -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 01:11, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was not previously classified (it usually takes a couple years between discovery and classification). --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:57, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, what was this bird believed to be. I am assuming that this bird has been observed many times, considering it's found in Phnom Penh, with a long history of French scholars living there, but no one noticed it was different from other birds of the area, so it would have been categorized as some other bird. -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 00:42, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The journal entry tells us that this bird is most closely related to Dark-necked Tailorbird. When the bird was found in 2009 during the checks, it was thought to be the Ashy Tailorbird and not the Dark-necked Tailorbird because of its plumage.  Tentinator  05:24, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
