Hi John,
Interesting, though this was surely this has been on the cards for a while
before this study. It was already listed as Cracticus tibicen by Christidis &
Boles 2008, though I note IOC currently still has it in Gymnorhina (see
http://www.worldbirdnames.org/n-batises.html). Not too surprising given quite a
few similarities in morphology and voice. Ron Johnstone from the WA museum also
mentioned that there are records of Pied Butcherbirds hybridising with
Australian Magpie in central Aus.
Cheers,
John
