Initially I thought they are different species because they bear different Latin names on the bird guides. When I tried to sort out the picture and videotape (unfortunately poor quality) of both trips and looked into books again, I noticed that they are so similar, both in appearance and calls. I think they belong to a same species. However the books are actually very confusing in the classification of this/these species:   1. 中國野鳥圖鑑 (翠鳥) - Chinese:黑喉鴉雀/黃羽鸚咀; English: Blyth's Parrotbill; Scientific: P.nipalensis; NO golden parrotbill/P. verreauxi   2. 台灣野鳥圖鑑 - Chinese: 黃羽鸚咀; English: Blyth's Parrotbill; Scientific: P.nipalensis   3. A Field Guide to the Birds of China (MacKinnon & Phillips) (i)Chinese: 橙額鴉雀; Enlgish: Black throated Parrotbill; Scientific: P.nipalensis; present in China SW (ii) Chinese: 金黃鴉雀; English: Golden Parrotbill; Scientific: P. verreauxi ; present in northorn Guangdong and Taiwan   4. 四川鳥類原色圖鑑 - Chinese: 橙額鴉雀;No English name given; Scientific: P.nipalensis; however the drawing is different from Phillips, more like a P. verreauxi verrauxi   I am very confused. Please help. « Last Edit: Dec 30th, 2003, 10:51pm by Uncle_Tall » Logged Uncle_Tall BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 163 Golden, Blyth & Black-throat Parrotbill 金黃/黑喉鴉雀 « Reply #1 on: Dec 30th, 2003, 11:18pm » Quote Modify http://community.webshots.com/s/image4/3/90/44/107639044WtcokN_ph.jpg Golden Parrotbill 金黃鴉雀 Ba Bao Shan 八寶山 ??/5/1999 Provia 100. Artixscan 4000 film scanner. Curve adjusted with unsharp mask in Photoshop Elements.   This is the only picture I got. Unforutnately the flash was not charged and I missed the only one opportunity. The image is too dark with backlit. However, it did show black cheek and  white "moustache" extending to nape. Blyth Parrotbill of Taiwan lacks this extension and and the cheek is reddish brown. « Last Edit: Dec 30th, 2003, 11:46pm by Forrest FONG » Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育 => Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
