If one elevates the N. American harrier taxon to species level, what is the correct spelling of the Latin:

Circus hudsonius or hudsonicus?

Thanks, and apologies if this has already been hashed out.

Thanks, Rasmus! I asked because the scholarly sources I usually check gave your spelling, but the new National Geographic Society "Complete Birds of North America" (which I recommend) gives subspecies "hudonicus", which surprised me. Parulini
