Whitestart
Glasses Warbler ( Myioborus melanocephalus )
Myioborus is a string of twelve kinds songbird genus of the family Warbler ( Parulidae ). Characteristic are the outer white tail feathers. In the English language, they are therefore also referred to White Start ( -start is an archaic word for tail).
The incorrect alternative name Redstart is probably due to the superficial similarity of the Schnäpperwaldsängers ( Setophaga ruticilla ) to the actual Redstarts, the Rotschwänzen (Phoenicurus ) in the family of flycatchers ( Muscicapidae ). Previously, the Rotbrust Warbler was ( Myioborus pictus), as more representative of the genus, placed in the genus Setophaga, which also bear the name Redstart. Robert Ridgway regarded the genus as the sister species of the genus Setophaga Myioborus.
