Hi,

Rubeho Warbler, Scepomycter rubehoensis, is split from Winifred's Warbler, Scepomycter winifredae, based on Bowie et al. (2009).

http://jboyd.net/Taxo/changes.html

Those one also make sense:
The Common Gallinule, Gallinula galeata, of the New World and Common Moorhen, Gallinula chloropus, of the Old World have been split.

Snowy Plover, Charadrius nivosus, is split from Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrinus, based on Küpper et al. (2009).

There is, however, no given reference for the Gallinule split (obvious, however, in the field).

Cheers,

Valéry
