Tyto javanica [excl. crassirostris] (Eastern Barn Owl [excl. crassirostris])

Eastern Barn Owl [excl. crassirostris]

Tyto javanica [excl. crassirostris] (= Tyto javanica) (Gmelin, JF 1788)

The eastern barn owl is usually considered a subspecies group and together with the American barn owl group, the western barn owl group, and sometimes the Andaman masked owl make up the barn owl. The cosmopolitan barn owl is recognized by most taxonomic authorities. A few separate them into distinct species, as is done here. The eastern barn owl is native to southeastern Asia and Australasia.
