Sericornis

Wikipedia Abstract

Sericornis is a genus of small, mainly insectivorous, birds, the scrubwrens. They are placed in the family Acanthizidae which was included in the Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy. However, this placement was always controversial and indeed has since turned out to be false. Despite the similarity in shape and habits, the true wrens (Troglodytidae) are a quite unrelated group of passerines. Sericornis contains the following species and notable subspecies:
