| + | '''White-browed Shrike-Babbler''' has been split into three species: |
| − | '''Alternative names: Red-winged Shrike-Babbler; Black-crowned Shrike-Babbler; Greater Shrike-Babbler''' | + | *''Pteruthius flaviscapis'' - '''[[Pied Shrike-Babbler]]''' |
| − | ;[[:Category:Pteruthius|Pteruthius]] flaviscapis
| + | *''Pteruthius ripleyi'' - '''[[Himalayan Shrike-Babbler]]''' |
| − | ==Identification==
| + | *''Pteruthius aeralatus'' - '''[[Blyth's Shrike-Babbler]]''' |
| − | 14cm. A medium-sized Shrike-Babbler:
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Male'''
| |
| − | * Broad white supercilium on black cap
| |
| − | * Grey mantle | |
| − | * Black wings and tail
| |
| − | * Chestnut win-panel (more yellowish in some subspecies)
| |
| − | * Whitish (greyish in ''ricketti'') underparts
| |
| − | * Vinous-washed vent
| |
| − | '''Female'''
| |
| − | * Greyish cap with little or missing supercilium
| |
| − | * Greyish-olive upperparts
| |
| − | * Mostly green-gold wings and tail
| |
| − | ==Distribution==
| |
| − | Found from northeast [[Pakistan]] east along the [[Himalayas]] to [[India]], [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]], [[Burma]] and South [[China]] to [[Indochina]], [[Thailand]], peninsular [[Malaysia]], [[Borneo]], [[Sumatra]] and [[Java]].<br />
| |
| − | Commonest of all Shrike-Babblers.
| |
| − | ==Taxonomy==
| |
| − | Eight subspecies recognized:
| |
| − | * ''P. f. validirostris'' from [[Pakistan]] along the [[Himalayas]] to [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]], northeast [[India]], adjacent [[Tibet]] and northwest and west [[Burma]], sometimes split as '''Himalayan Shrike-Babbler'''
| |
| − | * ''P. f. ricketti'' in northeast [[Burma]], [[China]] (Sichuan and Yunnan to Fujian and Hainan), north [[Thailand]] and northern [[Indochina]] | |
| − | * ''P. f. aeralatus'' in east and southeast [[Burma]] and northwest and west [[Thailand]]
| |
| − | * ''P. f. annamensis'' in south [[Vietnam]] and adjacent east [[Cambodia]], sometimes split as '''Dalat Shrike-Babbler'''
| |
| − | * ''P. f. schauenseei'' in south [[Thailand]]
| |
| − | * ''P. f. cameranoi'' in peninsular [[Malaysia]] and [[Sumatra]]
| |
| − | * ''P. f. robinsoni'' in [[Borneo]] | |
| − | * ''P. f. flaviscapis'' in [[Java]], sometimes split as '''Pied Shrike-Babbler'''
| |
| − | The described subspecies ''ripleyi'' is a synonym of ''validirostris'', ''lingshuiensis'' from Hainan included in ''ricketti''. Birds in peninsular [[Malaysia]] are better treated as intermediate between ''cameranoi'' and ''schauenseei''. ''Aeralatus'', ''robinsoni'', ''cameranoi'', ''schauenseei'' and ''ricketti'' are also split as '''Blyth's Shrike-Babbler''', ''P. aeralatus''. <br />
| |
| − | Like all species of this genus most probably not a babbler but belonging to the [[:Category:Vireonidae|Vireos]].
| |
| − | ==Habitat==
| |
| − | Moist montanes. Found at 900 - 2700m, locally lower.
| |
| − | ==Behaviour==
| |
| − | Feeds on insects but takes also berries and seeds.<br />
| |
| − | Usually seen singly, in pairs or small groups of 6 - 15 birds, often in mixed flocks with other species. Forages slowly in higher canopy. Not shy and aggressive towards other birds.<br />
| |
| − | Breeding season from April to June in [[India]], [[Burma]] and [[China]], January to April in [[Thailand]]. The nest is a loose cradle or shallow cup made of rootlest, fibres, tendrils and some twigs. It's placed 4 to 16m above the ground in a tree fork. Lays 2 - 5 eggs.<br />
| |
| − | Resident species with some altitudinal movements in the Himalayas reported.
