Good to see the Spotted Scrubwren could be split from the White-browed
Scrubwren.  As someone who has studied the ecology of both forms, I cannot
understand why they are lumped together as a single species.  Their
environments, habitats, ecologies (physiological and behavioural), sizes and
plumages are so different.

Since I got to Kolkata from Ghana, two new potential additions derived from
splits:
White-bellied Whipbird (Psophodes leucogaster) of South Australia from
Western Whipbird, the old Mallee Whipbird of Schodde & Mason Spotted
Scrubwren (Sericronis maculatus) of primarily Western Australia from
White-browed Scrubwren, long expected.
Even more reason for a trip to South Australia now, I am slipping behind
with my needed species again.
