Mlíkovský 2010. Systematic notes on Asian birds: 74. A preliminary review of the grebes, family Podicipedidae. BOC Occas Publs 5: 125-131.

Treats yellow-eyed S Asian Tachybaptus ruficollis 'capensis' as subspecifically distinct (T r albescens Blanford 1877, probably including iraquensis), restricting T r capensis to the red-eyed Afrotropical population.

Tricolored Grebe

Also, Mlíkovský 2010 splits T tricolor (including ssp vulcanorum).

IOC has listed T tricolor Tricolored Grebe as a proposed split.

Which ssp fall under T. tricolor? I'm guessing just vulcanorum and collaris?

Hoping to squeeze another armchair tick as i've seen poggei

You're right - T tricolor includes just tricolor, vulcanorum and collaris. Poggei remains a subspecies of T ruficollis sensu stricto.

IOC fully adopted the proposed split of T tricolor with effect from IOC World Bird List v2.7 (Dec 2010):
www.worldbirdnames.org/updates-spp.html

v3 Draft 1 (Dec 2010) shows the assignment of subspecies:
