I've just noticed this species on the IOC list, can someone confirm that it replaces Sierran Elaenia in Venezuela (Gran Saban).

According to the IOC 9.2 spreadsheet, it has two subspecies for which the ranges are "tepuis of se Venezuela and Guyana" and "tepuis of s Venezuela". The other species in the split, Sierran Elaenia (Elaenia pallatangae) has a range extending from Colombia to Bolivia which doesn't include any part of Venezuela.

Thanks Paul, so Sierran doesn't occur in Venezuela, that's what I hoped to confirm.
Not a new bird for me, just a correction as I'd previously had what was Sierran at Gran Saban.
