More cryptic species? Orange-billed Sparrow (Arremon aurantiirostris): western occidentalis vs eastern spectabilis @BenGFreeman1 @sierrawormlion @xenocanto

Two species in the Central American portion of Buff-throated Foliage-gleaner (Automolus ochrolaemus) complex? Pacific exsertus vs Atlantic hypophaeus @BenGFreeman1 @sierrawormlion

Reason #2: Playbacks are great for species with innate song (e.g. suboscines). Example: Buff-throated Foliage-gleaner populations in Central America ignore each others' song (= different species).

This autumn has proven quite remarkable for 'first for country' reports globally, with at least 50 since 1st September (see: https://t.co/Il2XknQQZ4). As species distributions change in response to a rapidly altering climate, this kind of thing can only be expected to continue.
