Fulvetta
Fulvetta is a genus of passerine birds. Originally proposed in 1877, it was recently reestablished for the typical fulvettas, which were long included with their presumed relatives in the Timaliidae (Old World babbler) genus Alcippe. But they are actually quite closely related to the parrotbills, and are thus now placed in the family Paradoxornithidae.
The genus Fulvetta was introduced in 1877 by the French naturalists Armand David and Émile Oustalet in their book Les Oiseaux de la Chine. They listed three species in the genus but did not specify the type species. In 1883 Richard Bowdler Sharpe designated the type as Siva cinereiceps Jules, J, the grey-hooded fulvetta. The genus name is a diminutive of Latin fulvus meaning "tawny" or "yellowish-brown".
The genus contains the following eight species:
