	Waxwing family
		The taxonomic relationships of the Bombycillidae remain controversial.
		Sibley and Monroe (1990) placed the family in close proximity to thrushes and Old World flycatchers, and listed three "tribes" of the Bombycillidae: the waxwings (Bombycillini), the Palmchat (Dulini), and the silky-flycatchers (Ptilogonatini).
		A.O.U. Check-list (1998), while acknowledging this suggestion, placed them closer to pipits and starlings in a more traditional position, and considered all the "tribes" to be worthy of family status.
