What is "rufous"?

Reddish-brown color, added link.

"It is .." vs "They also..." sing -> pl, any reason?

Clarified, it was supposed to refer only to adult males.

"loral patches" what?

Linked.

Don't know what a culmen is.

Added link.

"clutches of 2" two.

Fixed.

"to New Guinea. It is found through" merge.

Done.

"between altitudes of" at elevations between...

Done.

"Mountain kingfisher has been designated as the official common name by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). The species is also known as the greater yellow-billed kingfisher or mountain yellow-billed kingfisher." unreferenced.

Added refs.

"the genus Syma, along" link Syma first time.

Done.

"nominate subspecies" link?

Done.

"lumping the two" is that really the technical term?

Yeah, see here.

" ... 21–24 cm (8.3–9.4 in) in length." unreferenced para.

Added ref.

"can look similar" is similar in appearance.

Done.

" 3-4" en-dash.

Fixed.

"small lizards, insects, and larvae" you only linked larvae in the lead...

Fixed.

Link IUCN in the article. Indeed, explain what it is, it's not clear to non-experts.

Added link, but I don't think that an explanation is necessary as the Red List is pretty well-known.

Dates in references should be consistent format.

I added a date to the Journal fur Ornithologie ref, are there any others with errors? AryKun (talk) 10:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
