Scientific name: Monticola solitarius Linnaeus, 1758
Separation of races generally difficult; characters tend to intergrade, suggesting that most, if not all, variation is clinal. Race philippensis highly distinctive in plumage and to some extent apparently also in ecology, but intergradation extensive. Five subspecies recognized.[ http://ibc.lynxeds.com/ ]
