One other labels observation. It's Grey not Gray. e.g. Grey Heron, Grey Crowned Crane, etc. Even "Greylag Goose" Affects both: |
We use the 2021 eBird taxonomy (Clements list) for our labels, and eBird does actually list the Green-winged Teal as Anas crecca. So this might be related to differences in taxonomies. The same goes for "gray" and "grey" - one is American English (what eBird uses) and the other is British English. |
Gotcha, thanks. It might be overkill to do an British English translation!! I had no idea Clements had the two Teal as the same species, which it turns out they do. |
In the BirdNET labels, you have "Anas crecca_Green-winged Teal", Anas Crecca is actually Eurasian Teal. The Green-winged Teal is Anas carolinensis.
I suspect the right correction is to update the label to "Anas crecca_Eurasian Teal", but I can't say for sure. It could be that the label should be "Anas carolinensis_Green-winged Teal" - it depends on which of the species' vocalisations were used for training the class.
To be honest, both species sound the same to me and I would definitely fail to separate them by call in the field!
