Malayan whistling thrush

 * ... that the current range of the Malayan whistling thrush is uncertain because observers may have confused it with a subspecies of the blue whistling thrush? Source: "However, identification of the species has been hampered by a previous lack of diagnostic criteria for separating it from the dull southern subspecies of Blue Whistling-thrush M. caeruleus dicrorhynchus (Wells 2007, Bakewell et al. 2010a). A recent study of Myophonus species in peninsular Malaysia confirmed that M. c. dicrorhynchus occurs in montane areas, an aspect of its distribution over which there had been some uncertainty and could lead to confusion with M. robinsoni (Bakewell et al. 2010a, 2010b). The surveys for this study, conducted in 2009-2010, failed to find M. robinsoni in the Cameron Highlands, calling into question the reliability of sight records since the indisputable trapping of the species there in the 1950s and 1960s (Bakewell et al. 2010a)."
 * ALT1:... that recorded sightings of the Malayan whistling thrush in the Cameron Highlands after the 1960s may have actually been a subspecies of the blue whistling thrush? Source: same as above

 * "* Review Symbol question.svg Earwig Malayan Whistline Thrush is clear. Free of close paraphrasing other copyright violations. Hooks could be more succinctly stated and should be edited.  Both hooks are sourced within the article, and are neutral.  No requirement for QPQ, but one was proffered anyway (it has not yet been promoted, but that is not a requirement).  5X expansion confirmed.  New enough. Timely nominated. Long enough. Every paragraph is cited.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 17:40, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment 7&6=thirteen, thanks for adding more references to the article, but the "Threatened Birds of Asia" reference seems to be outdated because it lists the species as vulnerable. It is currently near threatened. Gulumeemee (talk) 23:32, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Gulumeemee Good catch. I left the source but updated the note.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎</b>) 13:55, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
