Narrative:

At about XA33 local time, I was assigned by captain to act as a flight crew member of a king air for the rno to las leg of the flight. I would be the PF and captain would be the PNF. After engine start, captain contacted ground control and was instructed to taxi to runway 16L. I heard captain read back the clearance and he advised me to begin my taxi to runway 16L. I proceeded to taxi the aircraft to runway 16L. Upon reaching the hold short line for runway 16L, the controller advised that we were not cleared to cross runway 16R. Captain politely responded as to what he heard the initial ground controller say regarding the taxi clearance. Nothing further. Contributing factors: I had not flown this aircraft within 3 weeks time and possibly distracted the captain with some questions regarding the FMS and avionics. Supplemental information from acn 585772: as we approached runway 16R I instructed the PF to cross and hold short runway 16L. He did so. I switched to tower and advised we were ready at runway 16L. The tower controller asked me which runway we were cleared to taxi to. I informed him runway 16L. After standing by for a few mins, he informed me the ground controller had cleared me to runway 16R. I was confused at that point and asked the PF what he had heard. He confirmed runway 16L. I told ground I was certain it was runway 16L, as runway 16R was still unavailable. They cleared me for takeoff, and issued me the phone number.
