Common unidentifiable species: chipmunks, and bats oh my!

i think there have been various other discussions of how this might be handled. here’s another recently created discussion where the original person talks about adding a pre-ID warning that there are commonly confused species, and where i suggest that a taxon ID checklist might be both a way to educate and lay the groundwork for a systematic process for a achieving a higher level of identification beyond the current community consensus: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/add-often-confused-with-warnings/1269.
