Criteria

The six good article criteria:

It is reasonable well written.
the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct;
- The writing is clear and appropriate.
- Change "a" to "an" in "a expedition".
Done.
- Consider "from which" rather than "from where" in "which is close to the location from where many type specimens of the species were collected".
Done.
- Consider a comma before "and" in the independent clauses, such as "Some males may have dark blue on the flanks and one individual was seen with a solitary white retrix", "The lores are whitish and the slender eye-ring is buff-yellow", "The head to the nape (back of the neck) is streaked blackish and the nape to the rump is marked with blackish spots" and "It has a very small range and the authors of the study describing it recommended it be assessed as vulnerable".
Done for the first and last, I think the other two are better without.
- Please review "as well as the less extensive white on the underparts".
Removed the first "the".

It already has the subscription needed padlock afaics.

it contains no original research;
- All relevant statements have inline citations.
it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism;
