This was new to me, but was cited in the recent Brown Creeper paper:

Apparently the Eastern Nashville Warbler is sister to a clade composed of Western Nashville and Virginia's.
Makes sense biogeographically (the populations are allopatric to one another).
Does anyone know if their are older common names associated with each population? If this gets split, a "Western Nashville Warbler" which has never actually occurred in Nashville seems to be kind of a bad name
