this split may have been replaced with identifications of Picidae. This

Review identifications of Chloropicus 792895
The Afrotropical woodpecker genus Chloropicus has been shown in multiple studies (e.g., Fuchs et al. 2017a, Shakya et al. 2017) to be comprised of two deeply genetically divergent clades. Given this and that the three species within the narrowly defined Chloropicus are readily defined morphologically, the remaining Afrotropical species are placed within Dendropicos.

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
