WHITE-BROWED SHRIKE BABBLER

Family : Timaliidae

Species : Pteruthius flaviscapis

Common Name : White-browed Shrike Babbler

Malay Name : Rimba Cekup Belalang

The White-browed Shrike-babbler (Pteruthius flaviscapis) 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, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand and
Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
