Atlasing this split automatically assigns ~100 obs to Sula brewsteri, but kicks back ~120 to Sula, including some that are unambiguously S. leucogaster (Atlantic, Indian and West Pacific occurrences).
What do you think?

still the best option I think, easy enough to add some IDs to the ones kicked back to genus
