Oligocene bird found in Poland

Named by its discoverer after... himself? Wasn´t that supossed to be frowned upon? (Not that it matters, I would probably do the same XD) http://www.thenews.pl/1/9/Artykul/135558,Ancient-bird-species-fossil-confirmed-in-Poland

Yes, I always thought naming an animal after yourself was against the code of nomenclature. But in this case it looks like the discoverer didn't actually name the beast, so it's okay.
