Talk:Double-banded plover

Name of bird
This is a New Zealand bird. It breeds only in New Zealand. In New Zealand it is named Banded Dotterel. So I think the article should be named Banded Dotterel. And the Australian name should be a redirect. Greetings, Dick Bos (talk) 23:30, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * We use the internationally standardised names provided buy the IOC across Wikipedia; it saves arguments and disagreements. The IOC name for this species is Double-banded Plover. Incidentally, I would strongly disagree with the assertion that a migratory bird is only a bird of where it breeds. This species is an Australian bird as much as it is a New Zealand one.

 * Thank you very much for your answer. You cleared this up for me. And you are right of course. Bar-tailed Godwits don't breed in NZ, but they surely are a part of the avifauna of NZ! Greetings, Dick Bos (talk) 04:20, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Taxonomy
Hello, this is a suggestion to correct the taxonomy reference. There is an earlier article by Barth et al. (2013) that found the relationship that is cited here as an article from 2015. The correct text/reference is:

A 2013 study found its closest relatives to be two other plovers found in New Zealand, the New Zealand dotterel (Charadrius obscurus, also called the New Zealand plover) and the wrybill (Anarhynchus frontalis, which the study found to be in the Charadrius CRD II clade).
