Painted Whitestart (Myioborus pictus) - HBW 15, p. 780
French: Paruline à ailes blanches
German: Rotbrust-Waldsänger
Spanish: Candelita Aliblanca
Other common names: Painted Redstart
Taxonomy: Setophaga picta Swainson, 1829, Real de Monte, Hidalgo, Mexico.
Differs significantly from congeners in many characters, including song, plumage, behaviour, and migratory tendencies, and has been suggested that it may be better placed in a monotypic genus, for which the name Erythrosoma is available. Such treatment not supported by recent phylogenetic study, which did, however, indicate that it is sister-taxon to the other species in present genus. Two subspecies recognized.
