Siva?

Is that a name change, I've never heard it called that?

Agree with Blue-winged Minla

I think it's just an alternative name at present. My copy of Grimmskipp uses it.

Siva is what a lot of the Indian guides seem to use now - but say they prefered Minla.

My Grimmskipp (2011) uses Siva in the case of Blue-winged and Bar-throated but retains Minla for Red-tailed.

It seems to be only Handbook of the Birds of the World that uses Siva (aside from Grimmskipp).
