| 23 Jun 2024 | Verdict was revised from Accepted to Not accepted. While ssp. cumatilis was considered a subspecies of Blue-and-white Flycatcher at the time of this record, ssp. intermedia was also synonymized under cumatilis; since intermedia is now placed within Blue-and-white Flycatcher, we cannot confirm the identification as Zappey's Flycatcher. |
