The Striped Tit-babbler Macronus gularis is a species of Old World babbler found in South and Southeast Asia.

The species has a distinctive yellowish supercilium and rufous crown. The throat is yellowish with brown streaks.
Call is a loud repeated chonk-chonk-chonk-chonk-chonk somewhat reminiscent of a Common Tailorbird. They forage
in small flocks and creep and clamber in low vegetation. They breed in the pre-monsoon season from February to July
and build a loose ball shaped nest made from grasses and leaves.

The species is widely distributed and is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia,
Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In India, there are disjunct populations
in southern India. This population was recorded by Salim Ali from Antharasanthe near the Kabini reservoir. There were
no records of the species from this area after the initial collection. The southern population was rediscovered from the
Masinagudi area in Mudumalai in 2004. Other populations are found in the northern Eastern Ghats.
