metadata.value: The paper describes fossil birds from the Early Pleistocene (Gelasian) of Malye
  Goly locality in the Baikal area of the East Siberia (Irkutsk Region, Russia). This
  is the first studied bird fauna from the Early Pleistocene of the Northern Asia,
  shedding the first light on the early Quaternary bird associations of the Siberia.
  A tiny fossil duck Sibirionetta formozovi sp. nov. is the first fossil representative
  of the modern genus Sibirionetta, the modern endemic of Eastern Siberia.
  This find documents the long-time (at least since the Early Pleistocene) presence
  of these ducks in the region. A new large pheasant-sized phasianid bird
  Titanoperdix felixi gen. et sp. nov. is a large-sized representative of the grey partridge
  evolutionary lineage (Perdicini). This find is in agreement with the fact
  that modern relatively small grey partridges (genus Perdix) are phylogenetically
  nested within the larger-bodied pheasants. Among other birds from the locality
  are Tadorna tadorna, three other ducks (including one diving form), Perdix cf.
  dauurica, Porzana payevskyi sp. nov., Podicipedidae gen. indet., Scolopacidae
  gen. indet., and Corvidae gen. indet. The assemblage indicates a rather productive
  water body with mostly open landscapes in the vicinity. The avifauna from
  Malye Goly does not show any considerable affinity with the Late Pliocene avian
  assemblages from Southern Transbaikalia and Northern Mongolia, as well as
  with the Early Pleistocene bird fauna of Eastern China, and thus most likely represents
  a separate paleornithogeographical unit. Porzana payevskyi sp. nov. is
  one of the oldest confirmed representatives of Porzana s.s. in the fossil record,
  supporting the Asian origin of the genus and a probable out-of-Asia dispersal to
  North America in the Early Pleistocene.
