[img]https://cdn.sci.news/images/enlarge10/image_11743e-Emberiza-godlewskii.jpg[/img] birb. Apparently discovered as part of a project to double-check species diversity in the Europe and Asia. Scientist think there may be a lotta misidentification with similar species. Interesting stuff.

i am holding her gently in my heart

Good birb. And yeah, I can see it getting confused with similar species, because that sure is a songbird-y songbird.

personally convinced that taxonomists just wake up every day and pick a new group of organisms to re-classify /hj curious if there's any hybridization going on in the little chunk of sympatric zone to make things even more complex [emoji=special eyes size=1]

the bird ever [emoji=familiar heart size=1]
