    I was already wondering about that. Thanks for clarification.

    I suspected you'd be our best hope for a fair few species :p but even a small handful of additions would be great.

    Out of curiosity, which of the missing species have you seen?

    Could it be that I'm missing a complete genus ? Searched for Platylophus but didn't found it ??

    HBW places the Crested Jay in its own monotypic family, Platylophidae. Thus why it is absent from this thread despite being called a jay. :p

    Some ornithologists place it with the helmetshrikes.

    These ones (actually only eleven of them, so just under a dozen rather than "over a dozen" - I miscounted!):

    Malay Black Magpie (Platysmurus leucopterus)
    -----
    Hooded Treepie (Crypsirina cucullata)
    -----
    White-bellied Treepie (Dendrocitta leucogastra)
    -----
    Siberian Jay (Perisoreus infaustus)
    Sichuan Jay (Perisoreus internigrans)
    -----
    Flores Crow (Corvus florensis)
    Piping Crow (Corvus typicus)
    Slender-billed Crow (Corvus enca)
    Little Crow (Corvus bennetti)
    Little Raven (Corvus mellori)
    Forest Raven (Corvus tasmanicus)


    Plus a bunch of unrepresented subspecies.

    However I really don't know which ones I have photos of and which I don't.

    The Crested Jay has been moved around quite a bit, and nobody seems to exactly agree where it belongs. :p

    Yep, that is precisely why I omitted it.

    Yes, I'd have been a little surprised had you lacked these ones!

    Turns out I've seen twelve of the unrepresented species rather than eleven, because I have seen the macella subspecies of Nutcracker (I just don't split it from the Spotted Nutcracker).

    But it doesn't matter because it seems that I don't have photos of any of the species on the list, even the ones for which I thought I'd have bad photos!

    The only "new" photos for your thread are two magpies (leucoptera from Mongolia and bactrianus from India) and the Burmese House Crow (insolens - note that these don't look or sound anything like "normal" House Crows!). The photos are in the respective Wildlife galleries.
