Thanks again everyone for your prompt responses. It is for a large bird life history spreadsheet I do for the Fenner School.
Cheers,
Bruce

I should have mentioned that IOC is in the process of compiling a sub-species listing as well. The draft can be found at http://www.worldbirdnames.org/updates-subspp.html
 
The table below is taken from its listing for the three Eudynamys koels. The listed subspecies differ slightly to those in Geoff's email below which looks like it is from Handbook of Birds of the World (HBW). The IOC list does not (at this stage) attempt to put 'common names' against subspecies.

The situation is a little, er, unstable.  I suggest you come to the September COG meeting, and be further confused …  [SLIDE}

Hi All,

 

I’m interested in the up-to-date taxonomic position of  koels, currently accepted English & scientific names and which species/sub-species are migrants to SE Australia. I have looked at HANZAB Vol 4, but I understand that classification has now been revised.

 

Grateful for comments.

 

Cheers,

 

Bruce
