Buteogallus?

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

There is no mention of "Buteogallus woodwardi" (as well as "Woodward's eagle") in a reference in this article. I can't even find any information about such bird on Paleobiology Database or in this work ("The Cuban fossil eagle Aquila borrasi Arredondo: A scaled-up version of the Great Black-Hawk Buteogallus urubitinga (Gmelin)" (PDF). {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)). Could it be a synonym to Amplibuteo woodwardi? The same problem with estimation. Where are 95.6 cm (37.6 in) or 110.2 cm (43.4 in) taken from? Xiphactinus88 (talk) 11:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

"Woodward's eagle" appears in this paper from '95 (https://academic.oup.com/auk/article-abstract/112/4/890/5168306), so it's probably a common name. As for "Buteogallus woodwardi", skimming through this paper from 2021 ("A new fossil raptor (Accipitridae: Buteogallus) from Quaternary cave deposits in Cuba and Hispaniola, West Indies". {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)), it would seem that "Amplibuteo" is a synonym of "Buteogallus", with every species from the former genus falling under "B. woodwardi". I've also seen the name "Morphnus woodwardia" floating around as a probable synonym. Monsieur X (talk) 21:13, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
