I'm going to quickfail this article, as it has outstanding citation needed tags that need to be addressed (these should have been dealt with before submitting for review). I will also add several other citation needed tags; generally, every paragraph should have at least one citation from a reliable source, and care should be taken to ensure that end-of-paragraph sentences aren't left "hanging" without an inline citation. While I'm here, there are some other things that could be done to improve the article:

• the lead currently isn't a good summary of the article's contents (see WP:Lead). The second sentence in particular stands out as an overly long list of countries that should be summarized to make it more easily digestible.
• the Taxonomy section should indicate who named the species (and when), and if it has any synonyms
• article needs a "Distribution and habitat" section
• any information about the conservation status?

Have a look at some of the bird featured articles to get a better idea of what type of material to include. Sasata (talk) 21:12, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
