This looks an interesting article that seems at first glance to be well-written and researched. The topic could be of interest to a wider audience. I look forward to starting a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 03:20, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for taking on the review. I'm thinking of taking this to FAC, so feel free to nitpick. AryKun (talk) 03:30, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments
This is a stable and well-written article. 96.6% of authorship is by AryKun. It is currently ranked C class.


 * The article is of reasonable length with 1,758 words of readable prose, plus a cladogram and an infobox.
 * It is written in a summary style, consistent with relevant Manuals of Style.
 * Citations seem to be thorough.
 * Images have suitable Creative Commons or Public Domain licenses.
 * Earwig's Copyvio Detector identifies a 10.7% chance of copyright violation with the Avibase entry[]. It seems to be mainly the proper nouns which are the problem. Please can you confirm.
 * The issue there is the proper nouns and Wikipedia excerpt that Avibase shows at the top.


 * "Both of these clades are sister to the Grauer's broadbill" Please check this for verb agreement.
 * Seems correct.


 * "Individual birds feeding on exposed perches in the canopy may be acting as lookouts for larger, more spread out flocks." There seems to be disagreement amongst editors about hyphenating words like "spread out". I suggest a synonym like "dispersed".
 * Done.


 * "Nests are built by both sexes, and are typically located at the edges of clearings or above streams in obstacle-free sites." Consider removing the comma.
 * Removed.


 * "Eggs measure 22.9 mm–24.1 mm × 17.4 mm–19.7 mm (0.90 in–0.95 in × 0.69 in–0.78 in) in size, and are oval-shaped…" Again, the comma is superfluous.
 * Removed.


 * "The flecking and spots occur all over the egg, but are densest at a band around the broader end" Consider removing the comma and replacing "at a band" with "in a band"
 * Done.


 * "It was previously common throughout its range, and is still locally common in areas with suitable habitat" Another superfluous comma.
 * Removed.


 * * I cannot see any other obvious grammar and spelling issues.
 * "However, there is substantial individual variation between individuals from all populations, making the recognition of subspecies inadvisable." Can this be clarified?
 * Reworded.

Please take a look at my comments above and ping me when you would like me to look again. simongraham (talk) 02:53, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I've dealt with everything you pointed out, please have another look. AryKun (talk) 04:57, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Excellent work. I will complete my assessment. simongraham (talk) 05:06, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
