Thank you Mr. Sangster for the link to the article. I am a visual learner so to help others like me here is the Diamond article with a nice painting:

I wonder if the paper addresses the DNA of the Orioles and Friarbirds of Ceram or Timor-laut?

Yes, our paper includes phylogenies of both clades, including those on Seram and Tanimbar. We have sampled all species and almost all subspecies.

Oriolus decipiens (Tanimbar) represents a distinct lineage, which is not closely related to O. bouroensis (Buru).

Interesting! More difficult in the field than on the pictures (the bill is the best giveaway): I had quite a lot of discussion on some of these.
