Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on May 31, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the Flammulated Flycatcher (pictured), a tyrant flycatcher endemic to Mexico, was eventually placed in the monotypic genus Deltarhynchus because of its broad bill?

Relevance of specific epithet to bird

I am assuming the flammulatus refers to the orange mouth or flash of cinnamon plumage but don't have a reference for it. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Flammulated Flycatcher/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Very good read. I believe it meets the Good article criteria and can be listed. Good prose, well-cited, neutral. I think it meets the completeness criterion as well. The editor seems to overuse the word 'this' a bit near the end (e.g. 'this species') over and over, so maybe some of this could be rephrased a bit. Although I don't think that's a reason to deny GA status at this time.

Thanks for the review. I'll work on the "this"es near the end of the article. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 02:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
