Chestnut-sided Shrike-vireo
The chestnut-sided shrike-vireo (''Vireolanius melitophrys''), sometimes called the honey-browed shrike-vireo, is a species of bird in the family Vireonidae, and probably the largest member of the entire family. A widespread species of subtropical and tropical moist montane forests, this species is found from Jalisco and San Luis Potosí, Mexico in the north to southern Guatemala. Taxonomy and systematics One of four species within the genus Vireolanius. The exact relationships of ''Vireolanius'' to other members of Vireonidae are not fully resolved, but it appears to be one of the basal groups within the New World Vireonidae along with '' Cyclarhis'' possibly '' Hylophilus''. Within the genus ''Vireolanius'', the chestnut-sided shrike-vireo appears to be the outgroup with respect to all other shrike-vireos. Two or three subspecies are recognized, depending on the taxonomic list being used. The type specimen of ''V. m. goldmani'' is alleged to be an immature of ''V. m. melitoph ...

Bird
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class (biology), class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the Oviparity, laying of Eggshell, hard-shelled eggs, a high Metabolism, metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight Bird skeleton, skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the common ostrich. There are over 11,000 living species and they are split into 44 Order (biology), orders. More than half are passerine or "perching" birds. Birds have Bird wing, wings whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the Flightless bird, loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemism, endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely a ...
