BLACK-EARED SHRIKE-BABBLER

Family : Timaliidae

Species : Pteruthius melanotis

Common Name : Black-eared Shrike Babbler

Malay Name : Rimba Cekup Telinga Hitam

The Black-eared Shrike-babbler (Pteruthius melanotis) is a bird species traditionally considered an aberrant Old World babbler
and placed in the family Timaliidae. But as it seems, it belongs to an Asian offshoot of the American vireos and may well belong
in the Vireonidae. Indeed, since long it was noted that their habits resemble those of vireos, but this was believed to be the
result of convergent evolution.

It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical
or tropical moist montane forests.
