Hi John et al

Based on that analysis, then, check out your next Leaden/Satin Fly and
watch as, Leaden anyway, respond quite readily to Satin Fly
playback....is that a basis to amalgamate two currently sperate species?
It would certainly save me a lot of heartache and frustration!

(Written very much tongue in cheek and having only a minimal
understanding of how splits really do reach a conclusion.....)

Cheers

Colin
