AviList alignment?
[edit]@Aa77zz: A rather new editor has put this together. I've updated it to be more in alignment with existing style. Can you check it for alignment with AviList? Please and thanks.

It seems there is a slight discrepancy.
[edit]The current internal classification of Passeri on Wikipedia (comprising five infraorders) is primarily based on Cracraft (2014) and has been reinforced by subsequent molecular phylogenetic analyses. Passeroidea was defined by Sibley as a superfamily within the parvorder Passerida; however, in current classification systems, multiple parvorders, such as Passerida, are placed within the Infraorder Passerides. This system was used in large-scale molecular phylogenetic analyses such as that of Oliveros et al. (2019).
infraorder Passerides - the former parvorder Passerida + some basal lineages parvorder Passerida - the former superfamily Passeroidea
As you can see from the diagram above or an actual phylogenetic tree, the group currently known as Passerida is the successor to Passeroidea; although Ploceoidea and Emberizoidea exist as superfamilies within it, the name Passeroidea itself is no longer used. I apologize that this duplicate article was created because I had not adequately explained the complex background in my previous edits. コロネン (talk) 22:51, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
