Congratulations Mark and Steve – you just had a species named in honour of your 
twitchathon team’s win! Western Whistler P. occidentalis added to IOC proposed 
splits yesterday after WA forms of Golden Whistler outed as a cryptic species 
in recent paper by Joseph et al (abstract here: 
http://mapress.com/zootaxa/2014/f/z03900p300f.pdf ) following a lot of other 
work on the whole superspecies complex throughout the region.

The big question will be, is this a new WA endemic? – there appears to be 
records just over the WA-SA border in bird data etc.

Martin
