The name bya wang is puzzling according to sources. dGa' ba'i rDo rje (1995) identifies and describes the White Ear Pheasant, which is a white bird with a red crest and black tail.
It goes approximately along with the image (rather generic) in the 'Medical Thankhas'. But the given english name here is 'goat sucker', refering to Caprimulgus, a genus of nightjars, which for David Holler (tibetbirds.com) is bya glag : 'In Tibet only the Grey Nightjar, Caprimulgus jotaka. For me bya glag. Hardly seen as nocturnal birds, but known by everybody due to their strange noises.' And the english names in the 'Medical Thangkas' are frequently doubtful.
And finally, 'Jam-dpal's notice bya wang describes and depicts in the Eye Ornament clearly a bat under the name bya wang, but gives the synonym pha wang, referring to bats.
In Dawa (1999) one finds under bya wang 'Nightjar, bat, perdix sp.'
