A series of commissions by

Although enantiornitheans are often stereotyped as arboreal birds, several also occuipied terrestrial and aquatic niches. One particular clade of long-legged species was recovered in Hartman 2019, here tentatively dubbed Lectavidae.

Though initially recovered as a putative ornithoromorph, Hollanda luceria was recovered as an enantiornithean in the aofrementioned study, as sister taxa to Lectavis brenticola no less. It had comparatively long, robust legs, and it was the size of a modern roadrunner, a likely close modern analogue.
