Hi all, recent genetic work on butcherbirds showed interesting results -
essentially Black Butcherbird (with a deep split between NG and Aus BBB's)
and Aust Magpie are sister taxa having split after their ancestors diverged
from other butcherbirds...and Silver-backed/Grey/Black-backed is
polyphyletic/mushed.....

Apparently Anna Kearns has another paper coming on making sense of the
Silver-backed/Grey/Black-backed butcherbird phylogeny..
