Hello! If I wanted to submit a bird that is a subspecies would I submit the true answer as "(subspecies) bird name" or just "bird name"? As an example (that I'm not submitting), if someone wanted to submit a Brown Pelican, and it was specifically a California Brown Pelican (P. o. californicus), would you prefer that it be called a "California Brown Pelican", or would just "Brown Pelican" work?
To make things easier on ourselves we are strictly following Clements Checklist for naming conventions of the answers. In your example the submitted answer would just be "Brown Pelican".
Extra information is always welcomed, but we will match the answer to whatever Clements recognizes.
It would be more fun to break things down to subspecies, but we are ultimately unsure on how we would approach it with the current quiz format.
