White-headed Stilt Himantopus leucocephalus has been split from Black-winged Stilt Himantopus himantopus in the latest WBCP bird list for the Philippines.
Pete Simpson showed us this recent split, it was a bit far, all the way in Davao del Sur. Thanks for bringing us Pete! We got to record the call in a video and confirmed it against the recordings in Xeno Canto to make sure this particular bird is really a White-headed Stilt.
