See Taxonomy: citation needed for supposed second subspecies "bonieti". Clements doesn't recognize it. More text to follow once we get a source.

Avibase, which most likely follow H&M (I don't have that as neither hardcopy nor electronic)

It is likely you will come across similar wordings, made by me, and showing the difference between the Avibase and the Clements entry.

We can absolutely use Avibase as a resource to verify information from taxonomic authorities, but using it on its own, when it does not list a reference for supposed information, is unreliable.

according to http://www.bsc-eoc.org/avibase/avibase.jsp?lang=EN&pg=families Avibase follows H&M with regards to Family level taxonomy. I have therefore always assumed that the subspecies level taxonomy also followed H&M. I am unable to check that, as I do not have a hard copy, and none are available at any local library. You may be in a location where you could look at H&M?
