@rfoster I don't know how I could've been more careful; I spent a lot of time on this one considering how many sightings there were in the region one species transitions into the other. It seems like the problem is, is that I didn't add Playford to the White-browed Scrubwren atlas, so all sightings in that district was swapped to Spotted Scrubwren instead of swapping to Sericornis. I've checked and that's the only observation that was erroneous swapped, so it's really no big deal, it was going to happen anyway with splits between paraphyletic species.
The major problem has been the extension of the S. maculatus atlas way too far into the Adelaide region taking in areas such as the Adelaide Hills where only Sericornis frontalis rosinae is found. To compound the problem, some of the S. f. rosinae heartland, such as "Adelaide Hills -Ranges, SA, AU" had been left off the S. frontalis atlas. Assistance with this was available if you'd asked.
This should have been more carefully atlased before the split was made. Birds in the southern Mt Lofty Ranges could safely have been retained in S. frontalis. As it is, many have reverted to a genus level ID, unnecessarily and some have been incorrectly swapped into S. maculatus e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/104502443
