The Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher, Culicicapa ceylonensis, is a small
passerine bird. Formerly placed in the "Old World flycatcher" family
Muscicapidae, it is now considered part of the Stenostiridae. These
are "warblers" closely related to titmice and chickadees, Paridae
(Beresford et al. 2005, Barker et al. 2004).
Stenostiridae is a family of small passerine birds proposed as a
result of recent discoveries in molecular systematics (Beresford et
al. 2005). They are commonly referred to as stenostirid warblers.
This new clade is named after the Fairy Warbler, a distinct species
placed formerly in the Old World flycatchers. This is united with the
"sylvioid flycatchers": the genus Elminia (formerly placed in the
Monarchinae) and the closely allied former Old World flycatcher genus
Culicicapa. (Beresford et al. 2005, Fuchs et al. 2006)
Its genera and species are:
Genus Stenostira – Fairy "Warbler" or Fairy "Flycatcher"
Genus Elminia – includes Trochocercus
