On the Birdlife Extranet www.birdlife.net were posted some files covering taxonomic changes made since the 2009 Red List with proposed revisions, e.g.:
Larus michahellis, Remiz macronyx, Vidua camerunensis, Vidua nigeriae in 2009 UR (Under review) in 2010 LC, Telophorus nigrifrons in 2009 NR (not recognized) in 2010 LC...
There are dozens of other proposed changes. For example:
The species of the genus Carduelis in 2009 are now as Linaria cannabina, Linaria johannis, L. yemenesis, Chloris ambigua, Chl. chloris, Chl. sinica, Chl. spinoides, Chl. monguilloti, Acanthis flammea, Ac. hornemanni
The species of the genus Spizaetus alboniger, bartelsi, cirrhatus, floris, lanceolatus, nanus, nipalensis, philippensis are now the species of the genus Nisaetus
New "Under review" species in 2010 - Alcippe annamensis, A. davidi, A. fratercula, Anas zonorhyncha, Dicrurus menagei, Loriculus bonapartei, Platysteira hormophora, Sericulus ardens, Surniculus dicruroides, Surniculus musschenbroeki, Surniculus velutinus, Tarsiger rufilatus, Turdus atrogularis, Turdus eunomus, Bathmocercus rubehoensis, Dendrocitta cinerascens, Riparia diluta, Aegithalos bonvaloti, Muscicapa williamsoni, Pteruthius aenobarbulus, aeralatus, annamensis, cameranoi, hybrida, intermedius, occidentalis, pallidus, ricketti, ripleyi, robinsoni, schauenseei, tahanensis, validirostris...

In BirdLife checklist V2 (2009), 126 potential species were 'Under Review', and many more are now to be added. The review process seems very slow – hopefully more than the above 4 examples will have been reviewed when V3 is released later this year...

[...perhaps the other 122 will change from UR to NR. ;)]
