    1. Reviewed by Simon J. Tonge    May 31, 2017

    Action: changed name from "Microparra capensis" to "Actophilornis africanus "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "I think this is a subadult African Jacana, not a Lesser Jacana. The beak is too long and the body proportions are wrong, too long-necked and long-winged."
