There have been many life list discussions on the forum. At the end of the day, its your list and the person you are comparing it to. My argument has always been.... what person with a reddish egret red morph on their life list wouldn't give their eye teeth to see a white morph. In your case, the Oregon looks like a completely different bird than the red-backed. A birder with either an Oregon or a Red-backed would be just as excited to get the other as to get a different species all together. Count away or don't, fun either way. I would be very impressed with someone that had all 7 varieties.
DKLUCIUS, you are out of range for the yellow-eyed. They are very distinctive, so great bird.
