Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Muscicapidae > Oenanthe > Oenanthe cypriacaOenanthe cypriaca (Cyprus Wheatear)Synonyms: Saxicola cypriaca (homotypic) The Cyprus wheatear or Cyprus pied wheatear (Oenanthe cypriaca) is a small, 14–15 cm long passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It was formerly treated as a subspecies (race) of pied wheatear but Sluys and van den Berg (1982) argued that the form deserved full species status, on the basis of differences in biometrics and especially song, and the lack of sexual plumage dimorphism in cypriaca. |
