Change the scientific name of White-browed Crake from Amaurornis cinerea to Poliolimnas cinereus, based on genetic evidence that it is more closely related to New Guinea Flightless Rail Megacrex inepta than it is to other species of Amaurornis (Garcia-R et al. 2020, Garcia-R and Matzke 2021). Reposition White-browed Crake to immediately follow Nkulengu Rail Himantornis haematopus.

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.
