	THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE SILKY FLYCATCHERS
		He noted (1951: 1, 1960: 20) that "suggestions for the union of the Bombycillidae, Ptilogonatidae, and the Dulidae in one family are not substantiated by examination of the skeleton.
		The two species of the South American genus Entomodestes, placed in the Ptilogonatidae by Stejneger because of having faintly scutellate tarsi, were returned to the Turdidae, next to Myadestes, by Ridgway and later authors.
		SUMMARY From the time of the discovery of Ptilogonys cinereus in 1824 until 1866, the silky flycatchers (Ptilogonatidae) and the genus Myadestes were considered to be related to one another and to the waxwings (Bombycilla).

		The Phainopepla is the most northern of a group of tropical birds that feed on mistletoe.
		The Phainopepla is one member of the Silky Flycatcher family, Ptilogonatidae, that includes such tropical birds as the Gray Silky-flycatcher, Ptilogonys cinereus, found in Sonora, México, Phainoptila melanoxantha, the Black-and-yellow Silky-flycatcher, and Ptilogonys caudatus, the Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher, found in Panama, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.
		Phainopeplas are easily recognized by their longish tail, crest, red eye, conspicuous upright posture, vocalizations, and treetop perching behavior.

		Although many bird species catch flies, there are a few specific groups of birds classified as flycatchers, including not only the fl phoebe in the phoebe group, but oddities such as the scissor-tailed flycatcher of the Cotinga group in Midwest America.
		Even the quaint phainopepla "silky flycatcher" we see along the Feather River in the winter time fancies itself as a fly catcher, clumsily fluttering from its perch to grab a flying delicacy, even though it is designated as a pseudo flycatcher in a separate Ptilogonatidae family.
		Even the California acorn woodpecker will sweep into the sky to retrieve an insect, and all swallows catch insects strictly on the wing.

		We don't usually get to hear their Spring song, but we do hear these high, clear call notes (34K)
		The Phainopepla (Phainopepla nitens) (Dad calls them Indian Blackbirds) is our sole representative of the Silky Flycatcher family (Ptilogonatidae).
		The name means "Shining Cloak", because the male wears beautiful shiny fl plumage with a pointed crest and a striking white stripe on each wing.
