Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shi Jin" data-source="post: 1754929" data-attributes="member: 74596">I only use one China list - The BBBC list ;-)  And, for now at least, it only has one species of "grey-cheeked" on it.  Of the ssp (?) I've seen, the Gaoligongshan birds are the biggest puzzle.  If anyone would like to check out a bad shot of one, I've put it on my website at <a href="http://www.chinesecurrents.com/2010birds14.html" target="_blank">http://www.chinesecurrents.com/2010birds14.html</a> (third pic down).  As I said, I thought this (and the 100 or so others I saw that day) were yunnanensis (indistict or, in some light conditions, virtually absent crown stripe and uniform warm buff underparts).I saw them only about 20km from and the same altitude range as Zou's fratercula (whose DNA was used to validate the now A fratercula, Yunnan Fulvetta).  I thought this might be of interest.Again, apologies for the poor shot(s).</blockquote>
