Taxonomic update -- August 2011

These taxonomic updates involve three major elements. First, we must change the common name, scientific name, family, order, sort order, and several other elements everywhere that the name appears. Second, we must add in a number of entirely new species, including newly defined groups, new hybrids that eBirders would like to report, or new groups that may someday become species. The third element is the most complicated: record conversion.

Although eBirders' records are sacrosanct and we never edit your records in eBird, the one exception is these taxonomic updates. When these updates occur, we always find ourselves hoping that eBird groups (Identifiable Subspecific Forms) are being used. For every split (use Whip-poor-will from our January 2011 update as an example), we try to make sure that the groups correspond to potential future species. For Whip-poor-will we originally provided two groups: Whip-poor-will (Eastern) and Whip-poor-will (Mexican). When we updated the records, all records of the subspecies group "Whip-poor-will (Eastern)" converted automatically to the species "Eastern Whip-poor-will", ditto for Whip-poor-will (Mexican). However, all records reported at the species level as Whip-poor-will were now Eastern/Mexican Whip-poor-will, but we couldn't be more specific. Since these two forms have distinctive songs, any singing whip-poor-will should have been identifiable. This left us with two options: 1) Leave all records as Eastern/Mexican Whip-poor-will, which will not count on bird lists, and leave it to our users to update when they can; 2) Make preliminary updates based on geography and date, and entrust our eBirders to fix the records if needed.

In the case of the whip-poor-wills, we felt that we could safely make assumptions. We converted all eastern records to Eastern Whip-poor-will and all western ones to Mexican Whip-poor-will. In most of Mexico, it is a safe assumption that a whip-poor-will will be the Mexican Whip-poor-will, but in winter in east Mexico, and from Belize/Guatemala south to Costa Rica, Eastern Whip-poor-will is possible. So for those records, we left them as Eastern/Mexican Whip-poor-wills. As you can see this is complicated, so we ask that you use the subspecies groups (ISSFs) when possible in submitted records. (In January 2011 we warned that Yellow-rumped Warbler might be split into 2, 3,or 4 species, and while the AOU decided not to adopt this split at this stage, it may still do so in the future. Reporting at the subspecies level is good practice whenever it is possible!)

We'd like to specially acknowledge the hard work of Tom Schulenberg, avian taxonomist for the Clements checklist, and especially Tom Fredericks, our database manager, who puts in countless hours helping us to update the checklists, filters, records, and multiple eBird output tables that keep our life lists, arrival date tables, bar charts, and maps up to date. Without these Toms, this update would not have been possible, so thanks to them both.

 

SPLITS

In every taxonomic update, it is the splits that generate the most excitement, since these are the actions that can net you an "armchair life bird" (i.e., one that you get without even going birding, when the taxonomy update is published!)

Below is a list of the species that were split into one or more species. For most of these, your records have been assigned to one or the other species based on geography. For several species, marked with an asterisk (*) we could not convert all records or need you to double-check, since the distributions of these species overlap in some areas. Now that this conversion has happened, feel free to change your records in whatever way you see fit. We will be in touch via email about all these records in question as well.

For North American birders the changes are few. The two lumps are Chestnut-mandibled Toucan (lumped with Black-mandibled Toucan) and Cuban Palm Crow (lumped with Palm Crow). The only North American species to be split are the following, all of which are discussed in more detail later: 

·         Common Moorhen --> New World birds split as Common Gallinule Gallinula galeata

·         Snowy Plover --> New World birds split as Snowy Plover Charadrius nivosus

·         Fork-tailed Swift --> For those lucky enough to have seen this rare vagrant in North America, the species name changes to Pacific Swift Apus pacificus due to a split in the Old World; the other species are unlikely vagrants to the New World.

·         Mexican Jay --> Split into the northerly Mexican Jay Aphelocoma wollweberi and the more southerly, Mexican endemic Transvolcanic Jay Aphelocoma ultramarina

·         Yellow-throated Warbler --> Bahama endemic species Bahama WarblerSetophaga flavescens is recognized

·         Stripe-headed Brush-Finch --> Now divided into eight species from Central to South America, the two in North America are the Costa Rican Brush-FinchArremon costaricensis and the Black-headed Brush-Finch Arremon atricapillus

The full list of splits is listed below. Try making global range maps for all these birds since we now have all the data updated. Some of these maps are showing up for the first time ever! Those with "[NA]" are relevant to North America, those with "[SA]" are relevant to South America.

·         Brown-cheeked Rail Rallus indicus - E Siberia to Japan; winters to SE Asia and Borneo

[NA, SA] Common Moorhen is split into a New World and Old World species. We follow Clements in the use of Eurasian Moorhen, since we fear that using "Common Moorhen" could lead to confusion in the New World. We strongly disagree with the NACC name choice of Common Gallinule, which combines a poor modifier with a misleading second name (gallinule suggests a more distant relationship to other moorhens than this species actually shows). To resolve this, we will be submitting a proposal to NACC for a name change -- which we hope they will adopt!

·         Eurasian Moorhen Gallinula chloropus - Europe, Africa, Asia

·         Common Gallinule Gallinula galeata - North America and South America; Hawaii

·         Transvolcanic Jay Aphelocoma ultramarina - S Mexican Plateau (Jalisco to Michoacán, Puebla and w Veracruz) and nw Jalisco to ne Colima

The distinctive form of Eurasian Nutcracker in Pakistan and nw India is split as a distinct species, the Spotted Nutcracker. The Clements checklist (version 6.6) uses the common name Kashmir Nutcracker and eBird likely will follow suit in 2012.

·         Eurasian Nutcracker Nucifraga caryocatactes - Widespread in Eurasia

·         Spotted Nutcracker Nucifraga multipunctata - Pakistan and nw India

Plain Martin is split into an African species (Plain Martin) and a widespread Asian one (Gray-throated Martin). The former is the species responsible for records from western Europe.

·         Black Bulbul Hypsipetes leucocephalus - Widespread in se Asia, from the Himalayas to Indochina

·         Square-tailed Bulbul Hypsipetes ganeesa - Sri Lanka and s India

This taxon was overlooked in previous editions of Clements Checklist; described as a subspecies, genetic evidence now indicates that it should be ranked as a species.

·         Moheli Bulbul Hypsipetes moheliensis - Comoro Islands (highlands of Mohéli)

·         Comoro Bulbul Hypsipetes parvirostris - Comoro Islands (highlands of Grand Comoro)

·         Visayan Bulbul Hypsipetes guimarasensis - Philippines (Guimaras, Masbate, Panay, Negros, Ticao, Verde)

·         Mindoro Bulbul Hypsipetes mindorensis - Philippines (Mindoro and Semirara)

·         Philippine Bulbul Hypsipetes philippinus - Widespread in e and s Philippines, on islands where the above species don't occur!

Blyth's Leaf-Warbler is split into three very similar species; eBird records should be carefully inspected in this case and the new slash option "Blyth's/Claudia's/Harteret's Warbler" should be used if the species is not certain. Note especially that Claudia's Leaf-Warbler winters widely in SE Asia and could be responsible for records within the range of Blyth's.

*All records from SE Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam) during the winter months were left as Blyth's/Claudia's/Harteret's Warbler. If you know what species you saw, please make those corrections in your eBird data!

·         Blyth's Leaf-Warbler Phylloscopus reguloides - Himalayas of n India to Nepal, s Tibet and s and sw China, NE India (Assam), n Myanmar and s Vietnam

·         Claudia's Leaf-Warbler Phylloscopus claudiae - Mts. of w China to e Tibet; winters to s China and SE Asia

·         Timor Bush-Warbler Bradypterus timoriensis - Mountains of Timor (e Lesser Sundas)

Hill Prinia is split into two species, with one in the foothills of the Himalayas and the other widely throughout Indochina. This split is somewhat confusing since the nominate form is now known as Black-throated Prinia, while the new scientific name of Prinia superciliaris now refers to the more widespread species known as Hill Prinia. Please be careful with your records of these species!

·         Black-throated Prinia Prinia atrogularis - Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet east to NE India (Assam) to Bangladesh, w Myanmar and s China

·         Hill Prinia Prinia superciliaris - N Myanmar and s China south through Indochina (Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam) to Malaysia and Sumatra

·         Philippine Magpie-Robin Copsychus mindanensis - S Philippines and Sulu Archipelago

[NA] The Andaman Islands form is split from the widespread White-rumped Shama; introduced birds in Hawaii pertain to the widespread Copsychus malabaricus.

·         White-rumped Shama Copsychus malabaricus - Widespread in Southeast Asia

·         Andaman Shama Copsychus albiventris - Andaman Islands

Hill Blue-Flycatcher is split into two species, which have different breeding ranges but overlap in winter.

*Since these two species overlap widely in winter, we were unable to convert the records outside of the breeding season in areas of overlap. The records were converted to "blue-flycatcher sp.", so if you have seen Hill Blue-Flycatcher in Thailand, Myanmar or other areas where both could occur please change them to the correct species if you know which one you saw!

·         Large Blue-Flycatcher Cyornis magnirostris - Himalayas (Nepal to Bangladesh); > to pen. Thailand

·         Hill Blue-Flycatcher Cyornis banyumas - NE Myanmar to s China,  Thailand, n Laos and n Vietnam, Malay Peninsula, Java, and Borneo

The Nicobar islands form is split from the widespread Brown-chested Jungle-Flycatcher.

This widespread Eurasian Blackbird, well known from European literature, is divided into three species, since the Himalayan and southern Indian forms are recognized as distinct species. Introduced birds in Australia and New Zealand pertain to Eurasian Blackbird.

·         Eurasian Blackbird Turdus merula - Widespread in Eurasia

·         Tibetan Blackbird Turdus maximus - W Pakistan and India to Sikkim, Bhutan and se Tibet

·         Indian Blackbird Turdus simillimus - Southern India and Sri Lanka

The southern India form of Chestnut-tailed Starling is split from the more widespread, migratory form.

*We tentatively called all southern India records Malabar Starling, but if your sightings were from southern India in winter they might have pertained to Chestnut-tailed Starling since that species does occur in winter at that season. Please double-check any records you have of Malabar Starling.

·         Malabar Starling Sturnia blythii - Southwest India

·         Chestnut-tailed Starling Sturnia malabarica - Nothern and central India, s China (Yunnan), Myanmar, nw and w Thailand, Laos, Vietnam; to southern India and Cambodia in winter

Plain Flowerpecker is divided into three species, with the wide-ranging species maintaining the name "Plain Flowerpecker" and the other two having fairly restricted ranges.

·         Nilgiri Flowerpecker Dicaeum concolor - Western Ghats and coastal sw India

·         Plain Flowerpecker Diceaum minullum - Widespread in se Asia

·         Andaman Flowerpecker Dicaeum virescens - South and Middle Andaman Islands

Van Hasselt's and Purple-throated Sunbirds are split as separate species.

·         Van Hasselt's Sunbird Leptocoma brasiliana - Widespread in se Asia

·         Purple-throated Sunbird Leptocoma sperata - Philippines

[NA] The distinctive Bahama form of Yellow-throated Warbler, formerly in the eBird taxonomy as "Yellow-throated Warbler (Bahama)" is recognized as a species. Bahama Warbler has not been found away from the northern Bahama Islands.

*Records not specified to subspecies cannot be safely converted outside of a narrow May-mid-July window, since both species co-occur during migration and winter.

·         Yellow-throated Warbler Setophaga dominica - United States

·         Bahama Warbler Setophaga flavescens - Grand Bahama, Little Abaco and Great Abaco

[SA] We follow the SACC in recognizing Masked Cardinal as distinct from Red-capped Cardinal.

·         Masked Cardinal Paroaria nigrogenis - Extreme eastern Colombia and Venezuela; Trinidad

·         Red-capped Cardinal Paroaria gularis - Widespread in South America from s Colombia and s Venezuela to Peru, Bolivia, and s Brazil

[NA, SA] The SACC recently split Stripe-headed Brush-Finch into eight species. One of these (Costa Rican Brush-Finch) is endemic to Central America and another occurs in eastern Panama, so this decision puts our taxonomy out in front of the NACC, which has yet to reconsider species limits in the Stripe-headed Brush-Finch group. We anticipate that NACC will follow suit soon.

*The occurrence of these brush-finches in Colombia is complicated. Please check your records of these species from Colombia with care.

·         Costa Rican Brush-Finch Arremon costaricensis - Highlands of sw Costa Rica and w Panama (Chiriquí)

·         Black-headed Brush-Finch Arremon atricapillus -Mountains of e Panama, Central and Eastern Andes of n Colombia

·         Great Rosefinch Carpodacus rubicilla - Caucasus to Afghanistan and Mongolia

·         Spotted Rosefinch Carpodacus severtzowi - Kashmir to Nepal, Tibet and sw China

LUMPS

Lumps tend to be much less popular than the splits (since people may lose a bird off their life list!) and there are just two species that have been combined in this update. On the plus side, these actions do not require any action on your part since they are all automatic.

Chestnut-mandibled Toucan and Black-mandibled Toucan are lumped under a single species: Black-mandibled Toucan Ramphastos ambiguus. The two former species are still available as groups.

·         Black-mandibled Toucan (Chestnut-mandibled) Ramphastos ambiguus swainsonii - Humid forests of n Honduras to w Ecuador

·         Black-mandibled Toucan (Black-mandibled) Ramphastos ambiguus ambiguus/abbreviatus - E slope of Andes of Colombia to w Venezuela and e Peru and northern section of upper Amazon basin

Cuban Palm Crow and Palm Crow are lumped under Palm Crow Corvus palmarum, in accord with NACC. This is not a recent action by NACC, but one that had been overlooked in past versions of Clements and eBird. The two forms are maintained as groups.

·         Palm Crow (Hispaniola) Corvus palmarum palmarum - Hispaniola

·         Palm Crow (Cuban) Corvus palmarum minutus - Cuba

In addition to these lumps, four other species formerly recognized were found not to be valid.

·         Imperial Pheasant Lophura imperialis - This name refers to hybrids between Silver Pheasant Lophura nycthemera and Edwards's Pheasant Lophura edwardsi

·         Beijing Flycatcher Ficedula beijingnica - found to be a first summer male plumage of Ficedula narcissina elisae

·         Degodi Lark Mirafra degodiensis - Found to be a synonym of Mirafra gilletti giletti

·         Deignan's Babbler Stachyris rodolphei - A recent review concludes that it mostly likely is a synonym Stachyris rufifrons rufifrons)

**NOTE: If you are trying to check your new eBird life list totals by adding splits and subtracting lumps, please note that you should also subtract

the few species below (e.g., Pacific Swift, Hill Blue-Flycatcher) where we were unable to convert all records to a species.

 

NEW SPECIES

New species continue to be described from remote corners of the world, mostly in the Tropics of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Amazingly, with the speed of information exchange these days, many birders have already seen these new species by the time their formal scientific description is published. When we are aware of an undescribed form, we have been trying to add it to eBird to allow for these sightings to be recorded and collected, even before the species is official (see the expanded list of eBird "forms" below for some of the species we are now including prior to formal description). With this taxonomic update, four new species are recognized because of new discoveries. Please enter them if you have seen them!

A new wood-rail from Madagascar has been recently described.

·         Tsingy Wood-Rail Canirallus beankaensis - Locally in w Madagascar

Re-analysis of an old specimen recognizes White-chested Tinkerbird again.

·         White-chested Tinkerbird Pogoniulus makawai - Known only from a single specimen from Mayau, nw Zambia

Rock Tapaculo is newly described from Minas Gerais, Brazil.

·         Rock Tapaculo Scytalopus petrophilus - Newly described from eastern Brazil

Recently described as a new species a new species related to Tickell's Leaf-Warbler.

·         Alpine Leaf-Warbler Phylloscopus occisinensis - breeds e Tibet-Qinghai plateau, China in Sichuan and Gansu; winter range undescribed

OTHER NEW ADDITIONS

A number of other new additions now are available as well, and many of these were specifically requested by our users. If you have seen any of the below, please go ahead and enter them! Note also that many of our ISSF options are considered species by certain authorities: entering them in eBird using the below name will ensure that your lists are correctly updated if they are split in the future (e.g., Common Ostrich and Somali Ostrich are split by some African authors, but we show them as identifiable subspecies groups).

Many of these taxa are not yet appearing on checklists, so you may have to seek them out if you want to report them. To do so when entering or editing a checklist, just open the "Add a species" box and start typing the species name. For example, typing "Ostrich" will bring up the species as well as its two groups.

If you notice a form, ISSF, hybrid, or spuh that should be on a checklist, please let us know (mji 26 AT cornell.edu) and we can add it in our next update.

The additions are listed below by eBird category as follows: forms (including yet-to-be-described species), identifiable subspecific forms (ISSFs), hybrids, intergrades, slashes, and spuhs.

NEW FORMS

These forms do not fit formally within our parent taxonomy (Clements Checklist 6.6) but are options that we believe will become available in the future or ones that we need to provide for some other reason. Several of these are recently-discovered species that have yet to be formally described. The Band-rumped Storm-Petrels are ones that we expect will be split as species once Grant's Storm-Petrel is formally described. The last two (Orange-crowned Warbler and White-crowned Sparrow) are forms that already have more specific groups in the eBird taxonomy. Since it is possible to report "Orange-crowned Warbler (orestera)" or "Orange-crowned Warbler (celata)", this group is a level between the subspecies group and the species, but it may be useful for reports of these distinctive forms when it is not clear to what subspecies they refer.

·         Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Madeiran) Oceanodroma castro castro

·         Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Grant's) Oceanodroma castro (undescribed form)

·         Apurimac Screech-Owl (undescribed form) Megascops [undescribed form 1]

·         Santa Marta Screech-Owl (undescribed form) Megascops [undescribed form 2]

·         White-spotted Hawk-Owl (undescribed form) Ninox [undescribed form]

·         Antioquia Antpitta (undescribed form) Grallaria (undescribed form)

·         Golden-faced Tyrannulet (Amazonas) Zimmerius chrysops (undescribed form)

·         Orange-crowned Warbler (Gray-headed) Oreothlypis celata celata/orestera

·         Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored/Cassiar) Junco hyemalis hyemalis/carolinensis/cismontanus

DOMESTICS

A few feral, domestic forms are useful to report in eBird, mostly to distinguish them from the wild forms. In general, these domestic birds are not wild and self-sustaining and rely on man to be fed. Use of "Rock Pigeon (Domestic type)" and "Muscovy (Domestic type)", which has been available for some time, is a bit confusing, since there are self-sustaining wild populations of both. Try to use these to distinguish non-wild birds from the wild populations. Note that "domestics" do not count on your life lists

·         Swan Goose (Domestic type) Anser cygnoides (Domestic type)

·         Helmeted Guineafowl (Domestic type) Numida meleagris (Domestic type)

·         Red Junglefowl (Domestic type) Gallus gallus (Domestic type)

·         Indian Peafowl (Domestic type) Pavo cristatus (Domestic type)

·         Wild Turkey (Domestic type) Meleagris gallopavo (Domestic type)

·         Rock Pigeon (Domestic type) Columba livia (Domestic type)

HYBRIDS and INTERGRADES

For hybrids and distinctive intergrades (hybrids between two subspecies) we make sure these options can be reported in eBird as well. The below options have been requested by eBirders or are frequent enough that we expect them to be reported. We don't yet endeavor to provide every conceivable hybrid, since that could be a ridiculously long list, but we do want to make sure we have options to cover the birds you are seeing in the field. Let us know (mji26 AT cornell.edu) if we forgot one!

SLASHES and SPUHS

We try to maintain a variety of spuhs (e.g., scoter sp.) and slashes (e.g., Greater/Lesser Yellowlegs) to allow birders to report species most accurately. With eBird's recent global expansion, we are still adding new options for other portions of the world.

ISSFs or SUBSPECIES GROUPS

Decisions about which population of a given bird is a species and which one is not is a contentious topic and not all authorities agree. Our eBird taxonomy attempts to define all the possible forms that can be either identified in the field or recognized as a species (sometimes based mostly on vocalizations or even genetics). We provide these for eBirders to report and we encourage you to use these options when possible. If and when future splits occur, we will more easily be able to convert records that are correctly reported to the subspecies group level. This year's update has a very large number of additions.

NAME CHANGES

Name changes are fairly simple, but they can sometimes be confusing, especially when your hand-written notes from a trip may indicate one name, but that name does not appear in eBird. for this reason, we try to document every name change we make. Avibase

is an incredibly useful resource for working through changes in taxonomy as well as changes in names. Just type the bird name from your notes in their search field and Avibase will return all the other names in use for it--including the one used by eBird!

 

COMMON NAME CHANGES

A number of common names have changed as well, either in attempt to clarify the taxon intended, to correct a mistake, to better reflect family relationships or to conform with more widespread usage. Most of these are documented more completely on the Clements updates pages. the common name changes that are the direct result of a split (listed above) are not included, but all splits and lumps result in changes in common name.

SCIENTIFIC NAME CHANGES

An even greater number of scientific names have changed, with many of these due to  a major reshuffling of the wood-warbler Parulidae) family. This arrangement better reflects the current understanding of warbler relationships (i.e., that Hooded Warbler is more closely related to American Redstart than to Wilson's Warbler). In addition, we reviewed all of our ISSF names and made sure that the proper rules of zoological nomenclature were followed; this means that sometimes the group name changed, or when two subspecies were involved, we reversed them so that the name with prioirity is listed first. The scientific name changes are listed below, along with the current common name.
