White-bellied sea eagle - a photo on Flickriver

White-bellied sea eagle

            ... landing on an X-shaped pillar in the sea just south of Singapore's Marina Bay East.  Interestingly, this species was placed into two different genera, Haeliaeetus and Icthyophaga(sp!) in the past.  Molecular analysis in 2005 placed the two Icthyophaga sea eagles into the Genus of Haeliaeetus but another study led to a wider revision in 2023, re-establishing the Genus Icthyophaga and moving four former Haeliaeetus eagles into this genus for a total of now six species.   You could think this is just a formality, but as the IOC World Birdlist Website quotes a Chinese Proverb: "Wisdom begins with putting the right name on a thing”.
