Hi all,

It's interesting that Silver-backed Butcherbird was split off Grey-backed
Butcherbird based on Kearns et al. 2013 (Molecular Phylogenetics and
Evolution 66: 941-952) and Kearns et al 2014 (Nature Communications 5:
3994).
Based on Kearns et al. 2013, shouldn't IOC have been more consistent and
have done the following:
(1) Split PNG Black Butcherbird and AUS Black Butcherbird
(2) Lump genus Gymnorhina with Cracticus, and move Australian Magpie
Cracticus tibicen next to Black Butcherbird?

Maybe we need further evidence.

Cheers,

Nikolas
