Genus: Chrysominla
Description
This genus would only contain one species, the Chestnut-tailed Minla.
It's larger than other minlas with a proportionately deeper, shorter bill, long rictal bristles and stronger tarsi.
Taxonomy
Chrysominla is a genus in the Family Leiothrichidae.
It was formerly included in the family Timaliidae.
As the three Babblers of the genus Minla are probably not closely related, each is placed in its own genus. Chrysominla is not yet accepted by Clements and other lists.
