In the 2013 WBCP Checklist which is based on the IOC checklist, the Arctic Warbler was split into three: Arctic Warbler Phylloscopus borealis , Kamchatka Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus examinandus and Japanese Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus xanthodryas. They can be told apart by their call. Here is a link to an article by Christian Perez on eBON on how to tell them apart: Ask The Experts: The Arctic Warbler Splits
