Taxonomy update for 2015
Asian Paradise-Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) is split into three species,
with Amur Paradise-Flycatcher breeding in eastern China, Kamchatka, and Japan; Blyth’s Paradise-Flycatcher widely in Southeast Asia from S China, Myanmar, and Indochina to Indonesia; and Indian Paradise-Flycatcher in Afghanistan and Pakistan
to Bangladesh, including Sri Lanka and India south of the Himalayas.
All three taxa migrate through Thailand and winter in Malaysia.
This species will be particularly complicated to assign in eBird.
We also have the option Japanese/Amur Paradise-Flycatcher, which should be
used in eBird to apply to all four species including Indian Paradise-Flycatcher
and Blyth’s Paradise-Flycatcher (essentially, a “paradise-flycatcher sp.” for Asia).
We will update this species name in 2016. Until then we encourage careful
documentation of paradise-flycatchers on migration and wintering grounds in Asia :
