	Rockfowl page
		The taxonomic position of the Picathartidae remains a puzzle.
		In past decades they were often tossed into the babbler assemblage, but its humerus is corvine and DNA work suggests its closest relatives are the rockjumpers (Chaetops) of South Africa (Sibley and Alquist 1990).
		Even if they are each other's closest relatives, the Picathartidae deserve separate family ranking, a position which will be followed by the on-going the Birds of Africa handbook series (S. Keith, pers.

	Rockjumpers
		Although it seems apparent that rockjumpers and rockfowl are really not similar — Picathartes live in thick tropical rainforest, forage on the ground like ground-cuckoos, and built mud nests inside caves — the evidence showed they were more closely related to each other than to other birds.
		So, naturally, Sibley and Monroe (1990) put the two groups together in family Picathartidae, and then settled them between their huge corvoid assemblage and the Passerida.
		Some of the recent papers maintain rockjumpers in the Picathartidae reluctantly, as if they were bound by tradition to do so (at best, the 'tradition' is less than two decades old).

		Arrows indicate the bony ridges that boarder the canal for the tendon of musculus flexor digitorum longus (note that these do not show any sign of breakage.)
		Among the numerous passeriform taxa we examined, only in the South American Pteroptochos megapodius (suboscines, Rhinocryptidae) and Xipholena punicea (suboscines, Tyrannidae), the African Picathartes areas (oscines, Picathartidae), and the Palaearctic Cinclus cinclus (oscines, Cinclidae) are the canals plantarly open for both the superficial tendons fp3-4 and fpp3 (Figs.
		That condition was also mentioned by Feduccia and Olson (1982) for the rhinocryptid genera Scelorchilus and Myornis and illustrated by Rich et al.
