Is someone able to inform me (and perhaps also the list?) how Callocephalon fimbriatum acquired its rather odd common name (I've been asked the question by a non-birding acquaintance).  I don't recall ever having heard the origin of the name and can't find any reference to it in any of the 5 field-guides, the first Atlas, the Readers' Digest or HANZAB!    Regards.    Richard
