Suthora Atrosuperciliaris-A9 02940
''Suthora'' is a genus of parrotbills in the family Paradoxornithidae. Taxonomy The genus ''Suthora'' was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson with the type species as ''Suthora nipalensis'', the black-throated parrotbill. The genus name is the Nepali language, Nepalese word for the black-throated parrotbill (''Suthora nipalensis''). The genus now includes species formerly placed in the genera ''Neosuthora'', ''Chleuasicus'', and ''Sinosuthora''. These genera are now considered as junior synonyms of ''Suthora'' based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study by Tianlong Cai and collaborators published in 2019.

Fulvous Parrotbill
The fulvous parrotbill (''Suthora fulvifrons'') is a species of parrotbill in the family Paradoxornithidae.

Parrotbills
The parrotbills are a family, Paradoxornithidae, of passerine birds that are primarily native to Eastern Asia, East, Southeast Asia, Southeast and South Asia, with a single species in western North America, though feral populations exist elsewhere. They are generally small birds that inhabit reedbeds, forests and similar habitats. The traditional parrotbills feed mainly on seeds, e.g. of grasses, to which their robust bill, as the name implies, is well-adaptation (biology), adapted. Members of the family are usually non-bird migration, migratory. The bearded reedling or "bearded tit", a Eurasian species formerly placed here, is more insectivorous by comparison, especially in summer. It also strikingly differs in morphology (biology), morphology, such as its finer bill, and has again been moved to the monotypic family Panuridae. Conversely, a number of other mostly insectivorous species that traditionally were placed in Timaliidae (Old World babblers), for example the fulvettas a ...

Bird Genera
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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Przevalski's Parrotbill
Przevalski's parrotbill (''Suthora przewalskii'') or the rusty-throated parrotbill, is a species of parrotbill in the family Paradoxornithidae. It is endemic to a small area of central China. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. References * Robson, C. (2007).

Ashy-throated Parrotbill
The ashy-throated parrotbill (''Suthora alphonsiana'') is a parrotbill. In old sources, it may be called Alphonse's crow-tit; though superficially resembling a tit it is not a member of the Paridae. The native range of this species extends from south-west China to northern Vietnam, and it might have become naturalised in one area in Italy. Description and systematics This is a medium-sized tawny-coloured parrotbill with the large bill typical of these birds. The specific epithet commemorates the French ornithologist Alphonse Milne-Edwards. Formerly placed with the typical warblers (''Sylvia'') in the Sylviidae, the Old World babblers in the Timaliidae, or the tits and chickadees in the Paridae, they are now thought to belong to a distinct parrotbill family Paradoxornithidae. They might be less close to the great parrotbill (''Conostoma oemodium'') than to '' Chrysomma'', or to the fulvettas (''Fulvetta'') which were often included in the wastebin genus '' Alcippe'' ...

Vinous-throated Parrotbill
The vinous-throated parrotbill (''Suthora webbiana'') is a species of parrotbill in the family Paradoxornithidae; formerly, it was placed in the closely related Sylviidae or Timaliidae. It is found in China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Russia, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Taxonomy and systematics The vinous-throated parrotbill was described in 1852 by John Gould and placed in the genus ''Suthora'', where it sat with other small browner parrotbills. Later parrotbills were merged into two genera, '' Conostoma'' and ''Paradoxornis''; with this species being placed in ''Paradoxornis''. Recent DNA studies have shown that the genus ''Paradoxornis'' is paraphyletic, and that it should be split. It is suggested that the vinous-throated parrotbill should be placed in the genus ''Sinosuthora''. The vinous-throated parrotbill is very closely related to the ashy-throated parrotbill, and hybrids have been reported between the two s ...

Eye-ringed Parrotbill
The eye-ringed parrotbill (''Suthora ricketti''), also known as the Yunnan parrotbill, is a species of bird in the parrotbill family Paradoxornithidae. This 10 cm long parrotbill is endemic to China, breeding in northwest Yunnan. It was formerly considered conspecific with the brown-winged parrotbill ''Suthora brunnea'', (sometimes the vinous-throated parrotbill, ''Suthora webbiana''), but more recent studies have found it to be a distinct species. Its behaviour is described as similar to that of vinous-throated. References *Robson, C. (2007). Family Paradoxornithidae (Parrotbills) pp. 292–321 in; del Hoyo, J., Elliott, A. & Christie, D.A. eds.
