Brachypteryx genus of passerine birds in the family Muscicapidae containing ten species known as shortwings , that occurs in southeast Asia.
Shortwings are small birds with long legs, finely pointed bills, short tails and short rounded wings. They are shy elusive ground-dwellers that generally prefer the cover of dense undergrowth.[2]
The genus Brachypteryx was introduced by the American naturalist Thomas Horsfield in 1821.[3] classical Greek brakhus mean "short" and pterux meaning "wing".[4] Turdidae but in 2010 two separate molecular phylogenetic studies found that species in the genus were more closely related to members of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae .[5] [6]
The genus contains the following ten species:[7]
Rusty-bellied shortwing , Brachypteryx hyperythra
Lesser shortwing , Brachypteryx leucophris
Himalayan shortwing , Brachypteryx cruralis
Chinese shortwing , Brachypteryx sinensis
Taiwan shortwing , Brachypteryx goodfellowi
Philippine shortwing , Brachypteryx poliogyna – split from B. montana
Bornean shortwing , Brachypteryx erythrogyna – split from B. montana
Sumatran shortwing , Brachypteryx saturata – split from . montana
Javan shortwing , Brachypteryx montana – formerly the white-browed shortwing
Flores shortwing , Brachypteryx floris – split from B. montana
Whilst the Javan and rusty-bellied shortwings show strong sexual plumage dimorphism, the lesser shortwing is sexually monomorphic.
Three other species were formerly placed in Brachypteryx :
