What do you think about this generic classification of Emberizidae?
Hylospina, Melophus, Granativora, Onychospina, Miliaria, Koslowiza, Cia, Emberiza, Fringillaria, Cosmospina, Latoucheornis, Cristemberiza, Schoeniclus, Ocyris
Yes, similar to what I have though I keep the core Emberiza group as subgenera. Also (i) I thought Onychospiza was invalid; (ii) not sure about Koslowiza - IMO uninformative and too similar to Kozlowia Bianchi, 1907...
I've thought up a few names for some of the taxa in my second list - but I cannot come up with anything remotely elegant for Sandhill Crane. Please work some magic for Antigone canadensis!
