This a general ID discussion question, not related to the current Spizellla
sparrow discussion:
When we are discussing (or reading about) a particular bird, does it help or
hinder the case when someone makes a pronouncement - "this is definitively
an XYZ" - rather than a more flexible argument?
One of the greatest truths I've learned from this group over the years
(about the only one I lurk on, most others I'm an active contributor), is
the subjectivity of some identifications.
Thanks!
