I disagree. For one I couldn't be stuffed going through C+B and
checking I'm using all the right names. What a bore. Further, using
the various other names adds colour to what be a dry occupation. Brown
Cuckoo-Dove? You've got to be joking. it is neither Cuckoo nor Dove,
and looks like a big stupid pigeon. Hence Brown Pigeon. I will
continue using Origma for Rock Warbler just because I like it.

And how many people would know what a Rock Pigeon is?
