A new fossil bird from the Miocene Iwami Formation is described herein. The single specimen is composed of more than 13 postcranial elements and feather traces. The morphology of the carpometacarpus and foot suggests that this specimen can be identified as a passeriform bird of approximately 200mm in total length. This fossil is the oldest record for the Passeriformes in Japan and the oldest record of the group in Asia.
