Thanks Richard, the perhaps inevitable...(my bold):
.."Finally, we explored whether Phrygilus species, especially those with broad altitudinal and latitudinal Andean distributions, showed phylogeographic structure. Our best-sampled taxon (P. fruticeti) exhibited no clear pattern; however, we found deep genetic splits within other surveyed species, with P. unicolor being the most extreme case and deserving of further research."

Plumbeous Sierra Finch
Other sspp were not sampled.
Divergence in P unicolor was observed between individuals from S Peru (Cusco & Puno - presumably inca) / N Argentina (Catamarca - presumably tucumanus) and individuals from N Peru (Cajamarca & Huánuco - presumably inca). So probably not a neat divergence between existing sspp.
Other sspp were not sampled.

Interesting! SO RBSF and WTSF have been merged into Idiopsar. I didn't see that one coming.
