Comment:
Change English name of Macropygia magna from Bar-necked Cuckoo-Dove to Timor Cuckoo-Dove with splits of Tanimbar Cuckoo-Dove and Flores Sea Cuckoo-Dove. Bar-necked Cuckoo-Dove is more appropriate for the entire species complex (magna + timorlaoensis + macassariensis), all members of which have barred necks and breasts (IOC List v10.1)
