hypoxantha
Binomial name: Chelidorhynx hypoxantha Blyth, 1843
Other
Names: yellow-bellied fairy-fantail
Special feature: It is yellow below and has a black
eye-stripe, white wing-bar and broad black tail tipped white.
It used to
be placed in the family of the fantails (Rhipiduridae), but DNA analysis has
shown it to be a close relative of the fairy flycatcher and it has therefore
been transferred to the Stenostiridae (IOC World Bird List), in the re-validated monotypic genus Chelidorhynx. (Wikipedia)
