Local Eupetidae - Eastern Whipbird and Spotted Quail-thrush

[David Rees <>]

After this sort of stuff, sometimes you come to opinion that well established English common names are more useful - given their stability!!!

Anyway enjoy the footage the Eastern Whipbird is good

That suggests 4 different family names or arrangements! May be best to steer clear of asking.......

Thank you for your now clear feedback- name came from my Birds Australia checklist I usually use.  Have checked, footage now changed to Psophodidae - see current working list from Birdlife Australia via http://birdlife.org.au/conservation/science/taxonomy

Bloddy 'taxos'

Was I obscure? I have never heard of Eupetidae. I only know of them as Cinclosomatidae. I don't know a genus that would give rise to Eupet....... Oh I see a genus Eupetes in New Guinea (3 species) in that family where it is called Orthonychinidae.
