Citrine Warblers

Northern Citrine Warbler Myiothlypis luteoviridis
Peruvian Citrine Warbler Myiothlypis striaticeps
Bolivian Citrine Warbler Myiothlypis euophrys

cheers, a
 
Mountain Serin

Mountain Serin Chrysocorythus estherae
Mindanao Serin Chrysocorythus mindanensis

not unsurprising, perhaps, interesting that the Sulawesi / Javan split is not here, although is the Sulawesi bird even described?

cheers, alan

The Sulawesi birds everybody sees in Lore Lindu might be an undescribed form, but birds from S Sulawesi are described, renatae. Then there is the Sumatran sub-species...
 
Riverbank Warbler group

Buff-rumped Warbler Myiothlypis fulvicauda
Northern Riverbank Warbler Myiothlypis mesoleucus
Southern Riverbank Warbler Myiothlypis rivularis

a new split there?

cheers, a
 
Hepatic Tanagers

Hepatic Tanager Piranga hepatica Swainson, 1827 R LC
Red Tanager Piranga flava (Vieillot, 1822) R LC
Piranga flava (Vieillot, 1822) NR NR

Not sure what is going on here, flava is listed as both recognised and not recognised, unless I'm reading it wrong

cheers, alan
 
Coal-crested Finch

Coalcrest Charitospiza eucosma

Clearly not a Finch..Has this been proposed by SACC or novel here?

cheers, a
 
Grey Saltators

Northern Grey Saltator Saltator grandis
Caribbean Grey Saltator Saltator plumbeus
Amazonian Grey Saltator Saltator coerulescens

3-way split

cheers, alan
 
Stonechat

Common Stonechat Saxicola torquatus

No Siberian or Stejneger's - not enough points despite deep DNA separation, at least of latter

cheers, a

Just wait for the version 2.0 (or 3 or 4) when they finally catch up to the reality that no-one else agree that plumage and a point system is enough.

Forest Rock-thrush

Amber Mountain Rock-thrush Monticola erythronotus
Forest Rock-thrush Monticola sharpei

Returned from the dead. Benson's still buried.

cheers, a

Phyllastrephus lorenzi and Junco insularis have been also reinstate. All three taxa have been removed from the Red List in 2007.
 
Yellow-bellied Seedeater

Yellow-bellied Seedeater Sporophila nigricollis
Dubois's Seedeater Sporophila ardesiaca

Against the direction of travel here.

cheers, alan
 
Superciliaried Hemispingus

Eyebrowed Hemispingus Thlypopsis superciliaris

:eek!:

Perhaps another SACC proposal I've missed

cheers, alan
 
Some good New Guinea splits, much as anticipated- though a shame they call Biak Myzomela the very boring Red-brown Myzomela; Long-billed Myzomela and Reddish Myzomela long expected, very pleased to see Biak Gerygone retained since just about everything else there is being split (though oddly not the very distinctive Golden Monarch!); nice to see Hooded Pitta being unpicked at last. I noticed a new genus called Microptilotis has replaced most of the Meliphaga, one I was not aware of.
Again as expected some of the really hard stuff gets booted on down the track- Island Thrush, Golden Whistler, the (not so) Little Shrike-thrush, Trumpet Manucode etc. The Tobias morphological criteria just won't work for some of these and the too hard basket seems fair enough at this stage.
Looking forward to see the book.
 
Lesser Antillean Tanager

St Vincent Tanager Tangara versicolor
Grenada Tanager Tangara cucullata

A widely anticipated split I think

cheers, alan
 
Indochinese Wren-babbler

Naung Mung Wren-babbler Rimator naungmungensis
Indochinese Wren-babbler Rimator danjoui

Buried by most recent checklists but back here..

cheers, a
 
Rufous-rumped Grassbird

Indian Grass-babbler Graminicola bengalensis
Chinese Grass-babbler Graminicola striatus

well established split but new name?

cheers, a
