鵂鶹(上朽尤反下音留文字典說云鵂鶹怪鳥也案鵂鶹晝伏夜飛荒鷄䲻梟之類也大如鳶蒼色赤目古今正字並從鳥休留皆聲也)。

Collared scops owl (鵂鶹; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 朽 + 尤 [xiū]; the second character has the sound liú. The Wenzidian shuo says: "The xiūliú is a strange bird." Note that the xiūliú hides by day and flies by night, of the same kind as the wild pheasant and horned owl. It is as large as a black kite, grey-blue in color with red eyes. The Gujin zhengzi writes both with the bird semantic, and 休 and 留 as phonetics respectively).
