Hi all,

It's interesting that Silver-backed Butcherbird was split off Grey-backed 
Butcherbird based on Kearns et al. 2013 (Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 
66: 941–952) and Kearns et al 2014 (Nature Communications 5: 3994).
Based on Kearns et al. 2013, shouldn't IOC have been more consistent and have 
done the following:
(1) Split PNG Black Butcherbird and AUS Black Butcherbird
(2) Lump genus Gymnorhina with Cracticus, and move Australian Magpie Cracticus 
tibicen next to Black Butcherbird?

Maybe we need further evidence…

Cheers,

Nikolas
