id	name	correction
159498721	Lonchura striata domestica (Linnaeus, 1766)	Can this be the non `domestica` species: `Lonchura striata (Linnaeus, 1766)`
159498713	Poephila guttata	Taeniopygia guttata (Poephila guttata is a valid synonym, but not yet in GBIF)

Lonchura striata var. domestica: this is effectively a specific variety of captive-bred hybrid Lonchura striata known as Bengalese finch (that looks different from the wild white-rumped munia), so to keep this ID

Poephila guttata (zebra finch): indeed this is Taeniopygia guttata (2493633) see this link, a widely kept pet bird

Avibase is always a good reference for these things

Too bad that first one is not in GBIF then. Second one to be updated in source and republished?
