Opus works on a consensus system, using the Howard and Moore list, the Clements list and the IOC list. If two (or more) of the lists recognize a species we follow. This is what happened around 2008. A similar thing happens with the scientific names and other more complex bits of taxonomy which i don't always understand!!
Searching Opus for Common Whitethroat still takes you to the required species
