A German bird? It doesn't appear here, or anywhere else I could find. [1] Andrew massyn 18:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm guessing that it came from here: [2], since that duplicates the double hyphen. Other entries there have only a single hyphen, so I'm guessing that's probably a typo. Kurzschwanz translates as "short tail," and Ameisenwürger seems in general to go along with the antshrikes. From the page you cite, the species name (Megastictus margaritatus) lists "Short tail--Ameisenwürger" as the species name and then adds "Synonymously: Perlenwollrücken". "Perlen" is "pearls," and the definition given is pearly antshrike, so it looks like there's at least something going for this one. --Dajagr 21:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it just needed one hyphen removed. Moved to the correct spelling. —Stephen 13:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
