External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Green-winged teal. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Taxonomy[edit]

I've noticed that the Green-winged Teal has been merged in with the Eurasian Teal into the same species, Anas crecca, or Green-winged Teal. The Audubon Society and Cornell both agree on this, and so do other bird-related websites. So, the scientific name for this species should be changed and the information on the two pages should be merged into one page. Thank you!

, for consistency, we use the IOC list rather than regional authorities as our species guide, and that global list still

splits, albeit with a comment that some NAm sources lump Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:46, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jimfbleak, understood.

"Green-winged"?[edit]

"It is distinguished from drake common teals... by a vertical white stripe on side of breast, the lack of both a horizontal white scapular stripe and the lack of thin buff lines on its head."

The name suggests green wings are distinctive? Although this picture suggests it's actually only the wing tip, and the colour is not so much green as, well, teal. jnestorius^(talk)
