    Interesting... yeah, wonder what's up with that one. It at least sounds like SACC is trying to seek a proposal to do that split but will wonder what's up with that. And IIRC these aren't necessarily all expected to get lumped before AviList v1 comes out

    Oh yup, you're right, it is getting lumped with Long-legged Buzzard, that was a mistake on my end. Could you clarify on this one? I don't know the full phylogenetic status, just that this is a species I've seen so am curious

    Why is something that'll probably need to be answered whenever the IOC gives their reasonings but this Should be the list of what things get lumped into that haven't been listed yet based on other checklist, listing by common names in IOC: IOC ONLY (recognized today by IOC, but not HBW/BLI nor...

    Admittedly I feel like the speed at which it feels like this is happening is in part down to IOC deciding to have put a bunch of lumps at the end of the realignment process rather than when they were doing the respective species. Maybe some of them are in part them saying "hey, we need more...

    "Red-chested Goshawk Aerospiza toussenelii (including macroscelides, lopezi, toussenelii and canescens) is lumped with African Goshawk A. tachiro based on overlapping morphological features and similarities in vocalizations and behavior, despite DNA divergence (Dowsett & Dowsett-Lemaire 1991...

    I did see a presentation on Taxonomy updates for Clements that said Version 1 of AviList is expected to have ~11,130 species so all these lumps will probably be approaching that

    Clements 2024 checklist update

    Oh I see it in there but it was 8 species back then, it seems like some of them like North and South Moluccan Cicadabirds were decided on after

    Clements 2024 checklist update

    Hmmm, so I counted the numbers up between the number of splits/lumps in the preliminary doc and the ones they say are coming in the new eBird page. I'm assuming the two new species that got described since were Timor Nightjar and the extinct White Swamphen, lumps seem to match or be close but I...
