What was known as Ragadia crisilda critolina is shown to be 2 species.
This submontane species is now Ragadia critolaus.
The true Ragadia crisilda critolina is smaller with the marginal white area heavily sullied, and is found from Kedawi northwards.

Thanks, Seow. Sorry Gee for the out of date ID, I'm a bit behind with this and the Phrissura sp. in part 2!

Les, no need to apologise. I didn't even know which family it is in!!

Although J.N. Eliot have stated in his review(2006) the Burmese critolaus is a distinct species, I noticed that in Yutaka it is still listed as a subspecies of R. crisilda.
There seems to be a conflict of opinion here.
