Ah ik had even gemist dat die oostelijke Blauwe Rots al als aparte soort gezien wordt, maar dan inclusief wat blauwe ondersoorten op
TiF:
Zuccon and Ericson (2010a) also found that the White-winged Cliff-Chat belongs in
Monticola, not
Thamnolaea. Moreover,
M. solitarius breaks into two clades which are not each other's closest relatives. The second group consists of the races
madoci,
philippensis, and
pandoo, so they take the name
Monticola philippensis. The English name Red-bellied Rock-Thrush has been previously used for
philippensis, and I use it here. Nonetheless, it is not a very good name as
pandoo, which interbreeds widely with
philippensis, is not red-bellied. Perhaps something like “Variable Rock-Thrush” would be better."
Dus multiple losses blauw buikje?
Een armchair tick, dat zijn de mooiste nieuwe soorten.
