Ibisbill
The ibisbill (''Ibidorhyncha struthersii'') is a bird related to the waders, but sufficiently distinctive to merit its own family Ibidorhynchidae. It is grey with a white belly, red legs and long down-curved bill, and a black face and black breast band. It occurs on the shingle riverbanks of the high plateau of central Asia and the Himalayas.
== Taxonomy ==
The ibisbill belongs to the order Charadriiformes which also includes the sandpipers, plovers, terns, auks, gulls, skuas and others. Although its evolutionary relationships are not fully understood, the ibisbill appears to be most closely related to a group including the oystercatchers, avocets, stilts and ''Pluvialis'' plovers, but sufficiently distinctive to merit its own family, Ibidorhynchidae.〔
There are no subspecies.〔 The species was described in 1831 by Vigors based on painting by John Gould although Brian Hodgson had sent a manuscript to the Asiatic Society of Bengal two years earlier describing it as the "Red-billed Erolia" but this was published only in 1835 with an apology from the editor. Hodgson later suggested a new genus name of ''Clorhynchus'' for the bird stating that Gould's description of ''Ibidorhyncha'' was inaccurate while Vieillot's ''Erolia'' had been rejected. The species is named in honour of Dr. Struthers who collected specimens of the bird from the Himalayas.
