Red-billed Streamertail[edit]

This list includes the Red-billed Streamertail, which does not link to an article. But the taxonomic list includes the Green-and-black Streamertail, and give the same scientific name, Trochilus polytmus. The name Green-and-black Streamertail does link to an article, which says that the bird is also known as the Red-billed Streamertail. 72.66.100.68 03:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza[reply]
