Aquila adalberti

These eagles have several common names, most of them indicating its relation to the Iberian peninsula. There are also the names white-shouldered eagle and Adalbert's eagle. They are found in a triangular pattern from central Spain to the coasts of southern Portugal and southwest Spain.

It seems that there has been an ongoing attempt to prove that this bird, the Spanish Imperial eagle, isn't the same as the Aquila heliaca (called the eastern imperial eagle when separated). It looks like they have kept this up in since the 1800s.https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/123708#page/98/mode/1up The thing is...it got proven in the early 2000s.https://archive.org/details/handbookofbirdso0002unse/page/194/mode/1up I think normally, which most scientific debated like this, once they prove the molecular evidence it usually goes through within the decade (though that's an assumption). But it looks like they're still fighting it? Like they can't forget it? They keep bringing it up. Do you want it separated or not? Most animals have gone through this sort of thing?
