I think the labels for pubis and ischium have been switched around in the diagram.

Toe arrangement diagram

I brought this up in the pic's media commons discussion page also. The Syndactyl foot's outer toes 3 and 4 should be fused instead of 2 and 3 (of which makes it the left foot in the current diagram). I checked several Kingfisher and Hornbill pictures to make sure.--Persistent Corvid (talk) 00:38, 12 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

According to the literature (Proctor at al. 1993), in the syndactyl foot the second and third digits are more or less fused. And the right foot is depicted in the diagram in my opinion.Darekk2 (talk) 00:53, 12 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

In that case the article had a mistake (it said the outside toes are fused), I fixed it. Sorry for the mix up.--Persistent Corvid (talk) 05:11, 12 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
