Scarlet Myzomela

[Carl Clifford <>]

I have just updated my bird sightings software, which is based on the  
latest Clements list. I have been checking the listings and discovered  
in the species entries there are holes where Scarlet Honeyeater  
Myzomela sanguinolenta should be. It seems I now have to call it  
Scarlet Myzomela. I referred to the Clements site at the Cornell Lab  
of Ornithology and their overview of updates and corrections they  
mention that they have updated their data for Australia, Based on  
Birds Australia's checklist, with a link to it. In the BA checklist M.  
sanguinolenta is still given the common name of Scarlet Honeyeater.
Can anyone throw some light on what name we should actually use?

Cheers,

Carl Clifford
