but problem is, technically it doesn't refer to the same species
Well I see the confusion but when I said the same species I meant that the ID of others on here is the same species ie; Stonechat in Portugal. So yes S.rubicola - though one must bear in mind that even the latest edition of the Collins Bird Guide has it down as S.torquatus - so the recent taxonomic sort out as S.rubicola is often confusing to the masses. Of course you are correct and it does have some importance
