G'day Patrick
The evidence used for the IOC proposed split is in:
Joseph L, AS Nyári & MJ Andersen. 2014. Taxonomic consequences of cryptic
speciation in the Golden Whistler *Pachycephala pectoralis* complex in
mainland southern Australia. Zootaxa 3900 (2): 294–300.
Unfortunately it is behind a pay-wall but you can read the abstract:

Looking forward to an armchair tick!
Cheers
