Latest IOC Diary Updates (21 Viewers)

I've just noticed a potential typo in a recent English name update.

Cream-browed White-eye is now Eye-browed White-eye. Is the hyphen in 'Eye-browed' meant to be there? The justification for the name change is to align with Clements and others, but Clements does not include the hyphen. If it is correct, it would be the only 'Eye-browed' species on the IOC list, all the others are 'Eyebrowed' (Jungle Flycatcher, Thrush, Wren-Babbler).
"Eye-browed" is simply an error. Corrected to "Eyebrowed".

Thanks for picking this up.
