General names
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Species list may not be current. Comments and corrections welcome.
In Japan, there are three main species of prunellid.
The general term for the accentors is イワヒバリ iwa-hibari or 'rock lark', 岩雲雀 or 岩鷚 in Chinese characters. Unmarked, the イワヒバリ iwa-hibari refers to Prunella collaris.
The Mountain or Siberian accentor is known as the ヤマヒバリ yama-hibari 'mountain skylark', 山雲雀 in Chinese characters.
Like the Dunnock in English, the Japanese Accentor has its own special name of カヤクグリ kaya-kuguri, written 萱潜 or 茅潜 in characters. Despite the impression of a bird winding its way through a thicket of kaya or miscanthus grass, in fact the Japanese Accentor lives in high montane pine forests.
