Himalayas - 550

Here's another
Laughingthrush from
mighty Himalayas ...

A species of higher
altitude ... and
richer forests ...

a pair of them at

It was at one time

study in 2018, it was
moved to be the
only species in the
resurrected genus
Grammatoptila ...

Watch the pair in a
video-clips ...
