Set up merge request. Reasons:
Yariguies Brush Finch was the first article, it is better structured, and while non-US convention is to hyphenate composite vernaculars, the correct version as per
HBW SOP would be "Yariguies Brush-finch" anyway.

AOU convention.

how can we have a legitimate pic to accompany this article?
hi,
i had a bot remove my shared AP photo (that CNN, NYtimes, etc. all have used) because they did not like my source info. however, this is clearly a rare species in an obscure part of the world. how in the heck are we supposed to obtain a legit photo for this topic???
You might try asking tdonegan@proaves.org or b.huertas@nhm.ac.uk whether they'd be willing to give one out to put on the Commons under CC-2.5-SA-BY. That way, all Wikipedians could use it.

Have added an illustration in response to request on my talk page. I am not very familiar with South American Atlapetes finches, so please let me know if any modifications are needed in the illustration.

wow...thanks...that's an excellent illustration! i'll contact the proaves organization to see if they can provide us with a "wiki-acceptable" photo :-)
