White-backed fire-eye antbird

• ... that the fire-eye antbirds' (pictured) calls instead of songs are used to tell the species apart?

• Source: In a 2017 study, researchers found that "when [they] examined Pyriglena

vocalizations in this context, the outcomes revealed substantial diversity in their calls, rather than their songs [thus it] underscores the need to consider all vocalizations in taxonomic studies."

• No copyvio, reliable sources, good image, sufficient length of article. Suggesting a slightly shorter hook: ALT1 ... that the fire-eye antbirds' (pictured) use calls (not songs) to identify different antbird species? Jaireeodell (talk) 20:37, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

@Jaireeodell: Hooks must not contain parentheses outside of (pictured) per WP:DYK200.--Launchballer 16:41, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Thanks! I didn't know that. Would this work? ALT1 ... that the fire-eye antbirds' (pictured) use calls, not songs, to identify different antbird species? Jaireeodell (talk) 21:36, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Fine by me, though I recommend ALT1a: ... that fire-eye antbirds (pictured) use calls to identify different antbird species rather than songs?. It's the same as ALT0 with no new information, so you could approve it yourself.--Launchballer 13:21, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

@Launchballer and Jaireeodell: Are we certain that the source says it is the birds who use these calls? To me it sounds like it says that it is the researchers who do. Surtsicna (talk) 18:14, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Well, they aren't calling to blend in with other species, are they? Even so, to your point, would this work: ALT2: ... that fire-eye antbirds (pictured) may be identified from different antbird species by their calls rather than their songs?. Jaireeodell (talk) 19:11, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Jaireeodell I think that is okay in essence, although some tweaks to "may be identified from different antbird species" could reduce redundancy, for example "may be distinguished from each other". CMD (talk) 08:49, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

@Jaireeodell: Would you like to propose a rephrased ALT hook? Z1720 (talk) 16:26, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

• Regrettably, the nomination turned two months old today, and with the original nominator not currently being active, and the growing DYK backlog, this is now timed out. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:42, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
