... that though Przevalski's Nuthatch (pictured) has been treated as conspecific with the White-breasted Nuthatch, a 2014 study found it to be at the base of the nuthatch evolutionary tree out of 21 species examined?

Because I worked this up in a subpage and after I moved it to the mainspace over the existing article I did a history merge, assessing the date expansion is to be judged from is masked. As seen, the move was on January 20, 2014, and the article only had seven edits at that time i.e., this is the version before my 22 × expansion.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:58, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Well, nice article Fuhghettaboutit. It seems to have been expanded enough, the image is in the article, and the hook is interesting. One tweak with the hook, it should be :Alt1: ... that the Przevalski's Nuthatch (pictured), has been treated as conspecific with the White-breasted Nuthatch, but a 2014 study found them to be only distantly related?.

@Reid,iain james: Hey Reid, thanks for looking! Yes, that's more direct, I like it. I would tweak it as: Alt2: ... that though Przevalski's Nuthatch (pictured), has been treated as conspecific with the White-breasted Nuthatch, a 2014 phylogenetic study found them to be only distantly related within their genus?--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:15, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Great! IJReid (talk) 04:18, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

@Reid,iain james: Wait, I've made one tweak to the Alt2 hook above and it comes in at exactly 200 characters. They are not distantly related overall – that implies something untrue – but they are distantly related within their genus.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:29, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
