It should be noted that “species complexes” may be used on iNat for what would more be accurately termed “species groups” because there is currently no better label for that level of taxonomy in the system, so definitions from other sources won’t perfectly match how the concept is applied here.
I agree that the taxon level will generally be used for groups that are difficult to ID from photos though. In a true species complex it may not be possible to separate species even with a specimen, if I understand correctly.
