Has there been any progress establishing the true status and distribution of C. m. atrifrons in Australia since the account published in HANZAB? The latest Clements & IOC checklists indicates atrifrons winters no closer to Australia than Sumatra and the Greater Sundas. However Pizzy & Knight digital edition include both C. m. mongolus and C. m. atrifons (sic), but supply no details on status. Also the illustrations of the two forms in non-breeding plumage seem to be reversed with atrifons (sic) shown having a white forehead and mongolus with a dark forehead. Are the P&K plates backwards?
