Whenever i look up jackdaws it always says “western jackdaw”. Does this mean there’s an eastern jackdaw??? also what’s the difference? (Besides their region)

Yes, while the Western Jackdaw, sometimes just called the Jackdaw, is found in Western Europe there’s another species found in East Asia...

Jackdaws!!

Jackdaws are two species of bird in the genus Coloeus closely related to, but generally smaller than, crows and ravens (Corvus). They have a blackish crown, wings, and tail, with the rest of their plumage being paler.

The species are the western jackdaw (Coloeus monedula), which breeds in Europe, northern Asia and Northern Africa, and its eastern counterpart, the Daurian jackdaw (Coloeus dauuricus), found from China and eastern Siberia to Japan. The eastern species is smaller than the western jackdaw, and in eastern adults the pale areas of the plumage are almost white, whereas in the western bird these areas are pale grey. The iris is pale in western jackdaw and dark in Daurian jackdaw. The two species are otherwise very similar in shape, calls, and behaviour. There is an argument for lumping the subgenus members as one species, but they do not interbreed where their ranges meet in Mongolia.

Ok, am I crazy? I could have sworn the genus name Coloeus was not used for jackdaws, both Daurian and Western, until now, but apparently it has been in use for over 10 years now (according to Wikipedia)??? Everything I have been using until now (iNat, bird field guides etc.) had been using Corvus monedula instead of Coloeus monedula. What is happening??? Was it that latest taxonomy change that suddenly got people to switch around everything and make proposed genuses official or what?

I've got an art idea, but I need to learn how to draw jackdaws in order to do it. There might be a lot of jackdaw art coming.
