- Hi, Cwmhiraeth. Beginning my review here:
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- I think "insects and nectar which" reads confusingly and I'm not sure if adding a comma will clear it up completely. Maybe reorganizing it like: the greater flowerpiercer feeds on insects, but also probes and pierces flowers to obtain nectar?
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
The article is eligible, nicely organized, and its sources look good. Just interested in clarifying the hook. – Rhinopias (talk) 22:33, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Rhinopias: Good point. How about ALT1? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:25, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that as well as feeding on insects, the greater flowerpiercer probes and pecks flowers to obtain nectar?
This latest hooks is short enough and clear, so based on the previous assessment, this is good to go with ALT1. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:03, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
