3. What is this based on? I don't see Ptilinopus arcanus listed in the trees in Oliver et al. ?
4. Possibly...may sink Oedicnemus in the next draft

3. based on: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ibi.13305
4. I keep Oedicnemus - the various trees do not align; Oedicnemus makes sense morphologically/biogeographically

Dunno, that's why I incorporate morphology, biogeography and traditional taxonomy and retain Oedicnemus... for now at least

If anyone has an answer

The most recent update of both lists, now covering birds of prey (specifically Strigiformes, Cathartiformes, and Accipitriformes) as well as the most recent IOC checklist. Nothing too radical here
