One thing that would go at least some of the way toward solving this would be changing the default search to Active, rather than Consensus ID [(see my Feature Request)](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/add-a-toggle-in-the-identify-filter-menu-to-search-by-active-id/14780/2). Right now, observations in this situation don’t just need a third expert–they need a third expert who knows to use “ident\_taxon\_id” or searches through upper-level taxa to find these observations in the first place.
