In Taiwanese ornithological naming, the Pied Avocet and Black-winged Stilt are both referred to as kinds of 鴴 'plover'. On the Mainland they are named 鷸 'snipe'.
The original family name for the Recurvirostridae was 反嘴鴴科 , based on the name of Recurvirostra avosetta. However, from 2008 the Chinese Wild Bird Federation changed the name to 長腳鷸科 , reflecting the Mainland Chinese name for the genus Himantopus. Curiously, this new Taiwanese usage reflects neither the species names used in Taiwan nor the Chinese Mainland family name, which, in line with international practice, is 反嘴鷸科 (Recurvirostridae).
