Braunshauseni. I've seen it called the giant pink-toe,as well,but I like goliath better,lol. Couldn't find a common name for my sooretama(had 2,tiny slings,one didn't make it,replacing it soon),decided to call it the Brazilian Red-Stripe,for now,lol. Don't quote me,but I think the braunshauseni is called the goliath pink-toe,by some.
I believe it was thought to be the largest avic for a time,tho I don't think it is,can't remember which one I heard gets biggest-a "sp.",I think.
That would be where that came from,being the "biggest avic". I'm sure I've seen it sold as the goliath-AND,I have seen it sold as the Giant pink-toe.
Biggest thing to remember with common names-they are the commonly accepted nick-names for the species,but they don't really mean much,very arbitrary. I started this(lol),you labeled your pic w/ scientific name,I didn't mean to cause any confusion,but I hope is interesting/close to accurate.
