Where was the baicalensis White Wagtail seen Geoff?

Forgive me if I'm being slow, but I get more confused each time I try to understand the situation with Bush Warblers.

Are Manchurian Bush Warbler and Japanese Bush Warbler (ssp canturians) now two separate species on the Hong Kong list?

If this not correct could the RC please clarify.

I also see from the reference paper that:

• Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler and Yellowish-bellied Bush Warbler are no longer Cettia, but are also now Horornis and
• Pale-footed Bush Warbler is no longer Cettia pallidipes, but now Urosphena pallidipes (same as Asian Stubtail)

Will HKBWS adopt this new taxonomy too?

Great to see all the records of Hawfinch being accepted.

I'd be interested to know what led to this decision.

Thanks

Good to see Chinese Blackbird finally being recognised as a good split.
