Thanks, Ryu. This bird had me stumped.

Who's responsible for the ALCW taxonomy? This can easily be modified under admin. The are 2 different scientific names entered for Great Egret as well, which ought to be merged

It seems the general name now is albiscapa. I have in the meantime merged Ardea modesta (Eastern Great Egret) which some still recognise as a subspecies into Ardea alba (Great Egret).

It doesn't seem like there are 2 cattle egret entries...

I thought it was ardea too but seems bubulcus is more recent. Have merged and added ardea ibis as a synonym
