Media notes

A bird perched on a trunk. Published in HBW Volume 12 on page 293. Original HBW caption: The genus Paradoxornis currently spans all but two members of the family, as well as a great deal of phenotypic variation. It can be divided into up to five subgenera, most of which may require separation at the genus level once well-sampled genetic analyses have been completed. One of these groupings is Heteromorpha, containing the Three-toed Parrotbill (Paradoxornis paradoxus) and the Brown Parrotbill. These species are large and drab, with subtle facial patterning and very stubby bills, greater in depth than they are in length. Like many parrotbills they are associated with bamboo at high elevations. Elevation: 2748 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
