Thrush-like Schiffornis
Thrush-like schiffornis is a species complex that has been split into five species: * Brown-winged schiffornis, ''Schiffornis turdina'' * Russet-winged schiffornis, ''Schiffornis stenorhyncha'' * Foothill schiffornis, ''Schiffornis aenea'' * Northern schiffornis, ''Schiffornis veraepacis'' * Guianan schiffornis, ''Schiffornis olivacea'' Each of these species was split from the species complex by the American Ornithologists' Union The American Ornithological Society (AOS) is an ornithological organization based in the United States. The society was formed in October 2016 by the merger of the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) and the Cooper Ornithological Society. Its m ... in 2013.Nyári, Á. S. 2007.

Species Complex
In biology, a species complex is a group of closely related organisms that are so similar in appearance and other features that the boundaries between them are often unclear. The taxa in the complex may be able to hybridize readily with each other, further blurring any distinctions. Terms that are sometimes used synonymously but have more precise meanings are cryptic species for two or more species hidden under one species name, sibling species for two (or more) species that are each other's closest relative, and species flock for a group of closely related species that live in the same habitat. As informal taxonomic ranks, species group, species aggregate, macrospecies, and superspecies are also in use. Two or more taxa that were once considered conspecific (of the same species) may later be subdivided into infraspecific taxa (taxa within a species, such as bacterial strains or plant varieties), that is complex but it is not a species complex. A species complex is in most cas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brown-winged Schiffornis
The brown-winged schiffornis (''Schiffornis turdina''), is a species of Neotropical bird in the family Tityridae. Taxonomy The brown-winged schiffornis has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae, where it is now placed by the South American Classification Committee. The species was split by the AOU in 2013 from the species complex thrush-like schiffornis.Nyári, Á. S. 2007.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 44: 154–164 Description It is medium-sized, about 24 cm (9 in.) long. Depending on subspecies, it is overall brownish or olive. The belly is often greyish. Distribution and habitat It is found in Amazon rainforest and eastern Brazil.

American Ornithologists' Union
The American Ornithological Society (AOS) is an ornithological organization based in the United States. The society was formed in October 2016 by the merger of the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) and the Cooper Ornithological Society. Its members are primarily professional ornithologists, although membership is open to anyone with an interest in birds. The society publishes the two scholarly journals, ''The Auk'' and '' The Condor'' as well as the ''AOS Checklist of North American Birds''. In 2013, the American Ornithologists' Union announced a close partnership with the Cooper Ornithological Society, including joint meetings, a centralized publishing office, and a refocusing of their respective journals to increase efficiency of research. In October 2016, the AOU announced that it was ceasing to operate as an independent union and was merging with the Cooper Ornithological Society to create the American Ornithological Society.
