I would have thought that deciding on the best bird taxonomy was a very easybusiness:


1. Read all possible works on bird taxonomy

2. Adopt all splits that will give you extra species

3. Pooh-pooh any splits that won't give you new species

4. Be open to changing you mind in cases falling under point 3 if,subsequently, you do happen to see an extra form.
