    I created the record for the subspecies, but the system kicked it back to Streptopelia orientalis when I tried to add the ID. I'm sure Ferdy can fix this. :) Posted one year ago

      In this case I think that is "accidentally" correct or at least acceptable. We normally don't create separate records for subspecies of birds. I can't rule out that it never ever happened, but it's not common. Mentioning the subspecies in the title is a good solution, it can be found again that way. Posted one year ago
