"Cuter"
Hi, per WP:INTEXT, we shouldn't be including something in quote marks unless the attribution of that quote is noted in the text. Hence, just saying it is "cuter" without saying who said that is not permitted. Furthermore, however, the term is largely meaningless in scientific or encyclopedic terms and depends entirely on the observer. Saying it has a larger rounded head etc. is fine, and sure, dumpy is a reasonably well-defined term so that can stay, those are meaningful ways to distinguish the species from the other mentioned, but the article doesn't need mention of the "cuter" thing at all.

 * Qualified the cuter description; as for the "scientific or encyclopedic terms" argument, it's literally quoted from Birds of the World, the updated online version of the seminal encyclopedia about birds. If they can use the word cuter, surely us pretending it's unencyclopedic to use any interesting words at all is just taking ourselves too seriously? AryKun (talk) 10:33, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
