But where does that leave Sierra Madre-Samar-Mindanao(?) Crow(s)?
We still have them listed as "Proposed Splits" from Slender-billed Crow. The split of Palawan Crow was fairly clear cut given its significant morphological and vocal differences from the others. These two subspecies, and those from se Asia and Indonesia, are less distinctive and require further consideration.

Unfortunately for me, SE Asia is just too far away. I have hardly scratched the surface of South America which is much closer.

With this split the unofficial IOC species count has reached 10,999. (That's provided I haven't missed any changes from the diary.) One more split to hit the 11,000 mark!

And there it is, #11000:

May 8 Accept split of Sulu Jungle Flycatcher from Rufous-tailed Jungle Flycatcher.

May 10 Post split of Javan Leafbird Chloropsis cochinchinensis and Blue-winged Leafbird C. moluccensis.''

I assume this is an accepted split since it was previously proposed as a split on Mar 27
