Bayucca, we are satisfied with the local name as long as the scientific name has been correctly completed as this is the way the system links similar spottings.
Thanks Alice. I actually do not know what kind of consensus you have on Project Noah. In the international scientific world you take the latin name and the common and accepted name in English, which is in case of Icterus galbula Baltimore Oriole, sometimes also Northern Oriole. I always leave it to the photographer which name he/she prefer to use. However, if you use a local name (look at the long list of Spanish names in the link!) you should consider that most of the Noah people probably would not know what kind of animal it is (besides being a bird...). So in this cases I would at least add the other names in the description field and tag all names. If you search for Baltimore Oriole you will probably miss this shot, maybe not in Project Noah itself, but in other search engines.

Hola Gerardo, no fue tan difícil conseguir estas fotos, son producto de un video grabado en en mi casa, en el Oriente de Guatemala. Saludos.
Bayucca, we call it Baltimore Oriole, but they do not likely have the same name. It is all right to put up both, but the preferred name is the one where it comes from.
