Talk:Ethiopian bee-eater

Disputed status
It should be noted that not all ornithological authorities agree with this split, rather than stating it as an established fact. See for example, Kirwan, G. M., H. Fry, J. del Hoyo, N. Collar, and P. F. D. Boesman (2021). Blue-breasted Bee-eater (Merops variegatus), version 2.0. In Birds of the World (S. M. Billerman, Editor). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. https://doi.org/10.2173/bow.bbbeat2.02. Similarly with the Augusr 2021 eBird/Clements world checklist. Ptilinopus (talk) 07:29, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
