Cryptic Honeyeater

["Tom Wilson" <>]

I have no influence over any of this...but I like Cryptic – as Imitatress means a female imitator, one might be led into thinking the honeyeater mimics others (although I appreciate that Graceful/Cryptic/Yellow-spotted complex do imitate one another in looks) – Cryptic works better to me.

Cheers

Tom Wilson

IOC Michael, after quite a lengthy process, which involved Lloyd as the proposer of the new species. To cut a long story short he was happy with Cryptic, one can go round and round forever so I am hoping we can persuade BirdLife to forgo Imitatress!
