NEW SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR BAILLON´S CRAKE

 Porzana pusilla is now Zaponia pusilla if we follow the recommendation in

del Hoyo, J.; Collar, N. J.; Christie, D. A.; Elliott, A.; Fishpool, L. D. C. 2014. HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World. Lynx Edicions BirdLife International.

Although you can find Porzana pusilla in many pages in the internet, specially those before 2014, a lot of others have chage to Zapornia. So, I´l use this name from now.

I´m not taxonomist, so I can´t say wich one is more correct. I think the authors above must have good reasons.

Anyway, I´ll keep Porzana in the old articles in order to help anyone searching for crakes in the internet.
