The genus ''Brachypteryx'' contains four species known as shortwings. They are colourful medium-sized mostly insectivorous birds. Opinion is divided as to whether they belong in the thrush family, Turdidae, or the Old World flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. Whilst white-browed and rusty-bellied shortwing show strong sexual plumage dimorphism, the other two have similar plumage between sexes. All species are southeast Asian. * Gould's shortwing, ''Brachypteryx stellata'' * Rusty-bellied shortwing, ''Brachypteryx hyperythra'' * Lesser shortwing, ''Brachypteryx leucophrys'' * White-browed shortwing, ''Brachypteryx montana'' In addition, two other species were formerly placed in ''Brachypteryx'': * Great shortwing, ''Heinrichia calligyna'' * Nilgiri blue robin or Nilgiri shortwing ''Myiomela major'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brachypteryx」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
