AOU Committee on Classification and Nomenclature, Pending Proposals.

To take effect this year barring any last minute changes.

As it affects our immediate area: Common Moorhen, Gallinula galeata, is split from the old world’s G. chloropusis. Also proposed is a name change back to Common Gallinule.

The splitting of Yellow-rumped Warbler failed at this time.
