The Père David's owl (Strix davidi) is an owl found in the mountains of central China (Qinghai and Sichuan). There is debate over whether it is a separate species or an isolated subspecies of Ural owl. The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World (2015 version) considers it a separate species,[1] but BirdLife International[2] and IUCN[3] treat it as a subspecies.
