Clements 2000 includes the Spiderhunter subspecies concolor of Sumatra within Arachnothera affinis (Streaky-breasted Spiderhunter) rather than within A. modesta (Grey-breasted). The field guide I have for the Greater Sundas includes it within Grey-breasted. Any views on either treatment ?
Also has there been any recent work clarifying the position of the peninsular Malaysian form of "Large" Cuckoo-Shrike (ie. is it closer to Javan or Large) ?
