Fire-tailed Myzornis (Myzornis pyrrhoura)
About the Fire-tailed Myzornis
The fire-tailed myzornis (Myzornis pyrrhoura) is a species of bird. Its genus Myzornis is monotypic, and has recently been transferred to the family Paradoxornithidae, having formerly been treated in the family Timaliidae. The monotypic genus name, Myzornis, which is also the bird's common name, is derived from the Greek μῠζᾰ́ω (mŭzắō), meaning "to suck", and ὄρνῑς (órnīs), meaning "bird", in reference to its nectar-eating habits; the species epithet is derived from the Greek πῠρρός (pŭrrhós), meaning "flame-coloured", and -οὐρά (-ourá), meaning "tail".
