Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by this split may have been replaced with identifications of Acridotheres. This happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the output taxa. Review identifications of Acridotheres burmannicus 145096

Taxonomic Split 119853 (Committed on 2023-01-09)

Each of the two monotypic groups is recognized as a species, based on differences in plumage and bare parts colors, and in proportions (del Hoyo and Collar 2016). Additionally, we change the English group name from 'starling' to 'myna', to be consistent with the names of other species of Acridotheres. Therefore the monotypic group Vinous-breasted Starling (Burmese) Acridotheres burmannicus burmannicus becomes Burmese Myna Acridotheres burmannicus; and the monotypic group Vinous-breasted Starling (Vinous-breasted) Acridotheres burmannicus leucocephalus becomes Vinous-breasted Myna Acridotheres leucocephalus. Revise the range of Burmese Myna from "Myanmar to central Thailand and extreme sw China (Yunnan)" to "Myanmar and southwestern China (southwestern Yunnan)".
