Based on comments from others, here is my updated list of differences
between C&B and the various flavours of IOC. Further comments welcome.

 

On BARC list (based on IOC 2.9 with amendments):

 

Antipodean Albatross (split from Wandering Albatross)
Northern Royal Albatross (split from Royal Albatross - and Royal Albatross
renamed Southern Royal Albatross)
Campbell Albatross (split from Black-browed Albatross)
Salvin's Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)
Chatham Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)
Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (split from Yellow-nosed Albatross - and
Yellow-nosed Albatross renamed Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross)

Eastern Cattle Egret (split from Cattle Egret - and Cattle Egret renamed
Western Cattle Egret)

Red-collared Lorikeet (split from Rainbow Lorikeet)
Western Grasswren (split from Thick-billed Grasswren)

Western Fieldwren (split from Rufous Fieldwren)
Hornbill Friarbird (split from Helmeted Friarbird)
Swan River Honeyeater (split from White-naped Honeyeater)

 

Green-headed Yellow Wagtail lumped with Eastern Yellow Wagtail

 

On IOC 3.1:

Western Quail-thrush (split from Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush)
Nullabor Quail-thrush (split from Cinnamon Quail-thrush)



Discussed (on birding-aus at least), but not official:

 

Western Shrike-tit (split from Crested Shrike-tit)

 

And I believe that C&B already lumps all ringnecks into one species,
Australian Ringneck - which has also been adopted by IOC.

I think you may have missed Eastern Cattle Egret and Red-collared Lorikeet?

Hi birders,



Following is my analysis of the splits that are supported by IOC but not by
Christidis and Boles:



Antipodean Albatross (split from Wandering Albatross)

Northern Royal Albatross (split from Royal Albatross - and Royal Albatross
renamed Southern Royal Albatross)

Campbell Albatross (split from Black-browed Albatross)

Salvin's Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)

Chatham Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)

Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (split from Yellow-nosed Albatross - and
Yellow-nosed Albatross renamed Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross)

Western Grasswren (split from Thick-billed Grasswren)

Hornbill Friarbird (split from Helmeted Friarbird)

Swan River Honeyeater (split from White-naped Honeyeater)



And the following are proposed splits, I believe:



Western Quail-thrush (split from Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush)

Nullabor Quail-thrush (split from Cinnamon Quail-thrush)

Western Shrike-tit (split from Crested Shrike-tit)



Can anyone with more taxonomic experience than me please confirm these
splits? Have I missed any splits that anyone knows about? Also, are there
any lumps under IOC?
