With all due respect, while it is true that a female Ruff is often referred
to as a Reeve, the official AOU and ABA name for the species is Ruff, and
accordingly it is perfectly acceptable, and probably even more correct, to
refer to this bird as a female Ruff.
Back to everyone's regularly scheduled bird-reporting...
