Rock Thrushes: Hyphens again (1 Viewer)

Right now I'm a bit confused and maybe you can help me. I'm doing the Thrushes. We have the Rock-Thrushes (and others) without hyphen. S&M (our base) write it with hyphen, so does Clements. H&M don't use the hyphen and Gill and Wright (tiebreakers) don't use hyphens too (they rarely ever use them). So what to do? With or without?
My thoughts were, that if S&M is our basis and the others don't agree, I should change them to Rock-Thrushes. But I'm not really sure if this goes along with our guidelines.

Any help and thoughts greatly apreciated.:brains:

That corresponds to some of the Tanagers I have done lately, and as long as for example AOU have voted not to adopt the IOC names in a wholesale manner, my guess is that neither will Clements. I therefore feel that the consensus of S&M 96 with Clements should rule the day. Hyphen it is.
