The bird genus Minla (from minla, Nepali for M. ignotincta)[1] of the family Leiothrichidae is commonly used for three, most likely unrelated species. The genus is probably best split, with only the red-tailed minla (M. ignotincta) retained in the proposed monotypic genus.
The genus contains three species:[2]
- Blue-winged minla (Minla cyanouroptera)
- Bar-throated minla (Minla strigula)
- Red-tailed minla (Minla ignotincta)
