Family : Timaliidae

Species : Pellorneum reficeps

Common Name : Puff-throated Babbler

Malay Name : Rimba Bintik-bintik

The Puff-throated Babbler, Pellorneum ruficeps, is a passerine bird. It is also called as Spotted Babbler.
Pellorneum ruficeps is the type species of its genus. There are some hints that Pellorneum may consist
of several lineages (Jønsson & Fjeldså 2006). If the genus would be split into two or more, the Puff-throated
Babbler and its closest relatives would remain in Pellorneum.

This bird is a common resident breeder in the Himalayas and the hills of Pakistan and India and parts of
southeast Asia. Like most babblers, it is not migratory, and has short rounded wings and a weak flight. Its
habitat is scrub and bamboo thickets, where it builds its nest on the ground, laying 2-5 eggs.

Puff-throated Babblers are plain brown above, and white, heavily streaked with brown, below. They have
a chestnut crown, long buff supercilium and dusky cheeks. The throat is white, and the bird's habit of puffing
it out gives it its English name. Puff-throated Babblers have strong legs, and are quite terrestrial. They can
often be seen creeping through undergrowth in search of their insect food, looking at first glance like a Song Thrush.
