Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)
Crested Finchbill (Spizixos canifrons) - HBW 10, p. 168
French: Bulbul à gros bec
German: Finkenbülbül
Spanish: Bulbul Picogrueso
Other common names: (Crested) Finch-billed Bulbul
Taxonomy: Sp[izixos]. canifrons Blyth, 1845, Cherrapunji, Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, India.
Forms a superspecies with S. semitorques. Race ingrami only doubtfully distinct, as differences seem to fall entirely within range of variation of nominate; further research required to assess its validity. Proposed races nobilis (Assam, in NE India) and laotianus (Laos) considered too poorly differentiated to warrant recognition, and thus merged in, respectively, nominate and ingrami. Two subspecies provisionally recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- canifrons Blyth, 1845 - NE India (Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, possibly also NE Arunachal Pradesh) and W Myanmar.
- ingrami Bangs & J. C. Phillips, 1914 - E Myanmar, S China (SW Sichuan, N, W & S Yunnan), NW Thailand, N Laos and NW Vietnam (W Tonkin).
