As we progressed with the coding, we realized that there should be a differentiation in the coding for “common”, such as less common, common and very common birds. However, this would require reliable quantitative data, which for most countries are not available. In the meantime, enjoy the current Check list of the birds of Australia.

Polychloros are proposed splits from Moluccan Eclectus Electus roratus based on differences in especially female plumage and, in some instances, size (HBW/BirdLife). Malayan Blue-banded Kingfisher Alcedo peninsulae is a proposed split from Javan Blue-banded Kingfisher A. Euryzona based on distinct differences in plumage. The female plumages are particularly dissimilar (del Hoyo & Collar 2014; HBW/BirdLife. See Eaton et al. 2021).

PoliocephalusUsually treated as a subspecies of Turdus poliocephalus, but the sexually dimorphic niveiceps is not a member of the Island Thrush complex (Nylander et al. 2008; Fjeldså et al. 2020). Alor MyzomelaMyzomela prawiradilagaeCrimson-hooded MyzomelaM. Kuehni, first reported by Trainor et al. and formally described to science on the basis of a single specimen (Irham et al. 2019). Head color, song and call differ; genetic divergence weak .
Green Inca Coeligena conradii is a proposed split from Collared Inca C. Torquata based on differences in plumage (del Hoyo & Collar 2014; Donegan et al. 2015; HBW/BLI). As would be expected when there is not sexual dimorphism, these species are monogamous and form pair bonds. This is quite unlike the promiscuous behavior of the rest of the family. All the gorgeous, promiscuous BOPs are closely related, so much so that they may be better considered all the same genus. Under our current classification, there are many intergeneric hybrids known.
