Ah! Now I'm not sure. I was going from my guidebook which is 12 years old and divides them south of Cairns, whereas Avibase and the Opus here suggest north of Daintree River for septentrionalis. Port Douglas is a few miles south of Daintree River, so maybe not septentrionalis. I'm nowhere near expert enough to actually see any differences. We need help!
