    Question about Eurasian Magpie - Mahachai Forest 2013

    Hi all. Was checking my Thai list from my trip back in 2013. I have an Eurasian Magpie (pica pica) seen in the Mahachai mangrove Forest on the 22/01/2013. My question is if this could now be a pica serica, with the recent split on the IOC. Thanks Frederico
