Common name of species are not capitalised
Following discussions on Talk:Crowned crane, on Move review/Log/2014 March and especially on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style, it is now clear that the consensus is not to capitalise the common (vernacular) name of all species.

The guidelines are detailed on Manual of Style.
