Bird Carving # 3 : Riukiu Robin(Akahige)

This is my third bird carving work of "Akahige".

The Ryukyu Robin is a bird endemic to Japan,

restricted to the Ryūkyū Islands.

It is sometimes placed in the genus Luscinia,

but recent research suggests that the East Asian

robins belong into a new genus uniting them

with some East Asian Luscinias such as the Siberian Blue Robin.
