Leiothrix is a genus in the Leiothrichidae family. They belong to a clade also containing at least the liocichlas, barwings, minlas and sibias. The sibias are possibly their closest living relatives (Cibois 2003). There are two species: * Silver-eared mesia, ''Leiothrix argentauris'' * Red-billed leiothrix or "Pekin nightingale", ''Leiothrix lutea'' Their delicate colors and accomplished song make them popular cagebirds. ==References== *Cibois, Alice (2003a): Mitochondrial DNA Phylogeny of Babblers (Timaliidae).
