Talk:List of birds of Ecuador

message: The number of endemics given was valid only for Continental Ecuador. Obviously, when you take the Galápagos into account you have a much larger number. Corrected that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.69.84.233 (talk) 05:03, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

message: On 27 October 2015 the SACC accepted Proposal 589A, the split of Epinecrophylla haematonota (stipple-throated antwren) into E. haematonota, E. amazonica, and E. pyrrhonota.  Proposal 589B, to also split E. dentei from the complex, was not accepted.  Concurrently Proposal 590, to relegate the existing E. fjeldsaai to be a subspecies of E. haematonota was rejected.  However, the split has not been implemented because Proposal 696X, which assigns English names to the four species, has not completed the voting process. See http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCproproster.htm for the details of all of these proposals.
Clements has implemented the split and assigned English names.  However, those names are not the leading contenders in the SACC proposal, which offers two possible slates, and they stand a good chance of changing after the SACC finishes voting.
Therefore it is premature to apply the split of E. haematonata (Clements "rufous-backed", SACC's "stipple-throated" antwren) on pages which use the official SACC list as their source.
::The country/state lists follow Clements, so we can use the Clements names for now unless Clements decides to follow the SACC at a later time......it can always be updated...Pvmoutside (talk) 23:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
