Sangster G., Van Den Berg A.B., van Loon A.J. & Roselaar C.S. (2003) Dutch avifaunal list: Taxonomic changes in 1999-2003. ARDEA 91 (2): 279-285
This is the second update on the taxonomy of species and higher taxa on the Dutch List since Voous (1977). It summarizes decisions made by the Commissie Systematiek Nederlandse Avifauna (CSNA) between Jan 1999 and Okt 2003. Changes in this report fall into five categories: (1) eight species names are changed to make them grammatically correct (Alopochen aegyptiaca, Pluvialis dominica, Actitis macularius, Phalaropus fulicarius, Chlidonias hybrida, Delichon urbicum, Saxicola maurus, Regulus ignicapilla); (2) two species names are changed due to re-identification of type specimens (Phylloscopus ibericus, Lanius isabellinus)
