Stenostiridae
Stenostiridae, or the fairy flycatchers, are a family of small passerine birds proposed as a result of recent discoveries in molecular systematics.Beresford ''et al.'' (2005) They are also referred to as stenostirid warblers. Taxonomy and systematics This new clade is named after the fairy flycatcher, a distinct species placed formerly in the Old World flycatchers. This is united with the "sylvioid flycatchers": the genus ''Elminia'' (formerly placed in the Monarchinae) and the closely allied former Old World flycatcher genus ''Culicicapa'', as well as one species formerly believed to be an aberrant fantail. * Genus '' Stenostira'' – fairy "warbler" or fairy "flycatcher" ** Fairy flycatcher, ''Stenostira scita'' * Genus '' Elminia'' (includes ''Trochocercus'') ** African blue flycatcher, ''Elminia longicauda'' ** White-tailed blue flycatcher, ''Elminia albicauda'' **Dusky crested flycatcher, ''Elminia nigromitrata'' ** White-bellied crested flycatcher, ''Elminia albi ...

Yellow-bellied Fantail
The yellow-bellied fantail (''Chelidorhynx hypoxanthus''), also known as the yellow-bellied fairy-fantail, is found in the Indian subcontinent, the Himalayas, and portions of Southeast Asia including Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar. It is about 8 cm in size. It is yellow below and has a black eye-stripe, white wing-bar and broad black tail tipped white. It used to be placed in the family of the fantails (Rhipiduridae), but DNA analysis has shown it to be a close relative of the fairy flycatcher and it has therefore been transferred to the StenostiridaeIOC World Bird List, in the revalidated monotypic genus ''Chelidorhynx''.
