Well, for animals, if the common name is unambiguous and well-established, we generally should use it as the article title. Since the common name here is not unambiguous, it's probably not a very good idea. I can see it go either way.

The general rule is to use minor taxa like subfamily when they're directly above the taxon you're writing about (like subfamily when you're writing about a genus). No big problem if birds want to do it differently.
When was the genus first described? When were the species discovered? Also, the article on the Rock Martin actually has more information on the taxonomic status of the genus (saying that various other genera should be subsumed into Hirundo if this one is).
"In South Asia, migrant Eurasian birds sometimes join with flocks of the Dusky Crag Martin and roost communally on ledges of cliffs or buildings."—do they hybridize?
"Predators and parasites" shouldn't be under "Behavior" (I think I said the same in the review for the Rock Martin; I now notice that the article on the Eurasian Crag Martin has the same problem).
Thanks for the reply. There are two things above that I didn't strike, but the article meets the GA criteria, so I'm passing it now.
