Black-and-white Triller
Lalage melanoleuca (Blyth, 1861)
Campephagidae — Cuckooshrikes
Black-and-white Triller, Lalage melanoleuca, is a passerine of the Campephagidae family found in the Philippines, where it is confined to the breeding range in the Oriental Region apart from West Visayas, the Palawan group and the Sulu Archipelago. It lives in tropical moist lowland forest, including primary and secondary woodland. The species is sexually dimorphic: males are darker and show the characteristic black bib, while females are paler and have a bib that is grey or white according to subspecies. Two forms are recognised, with northern and southern populations differing in the female plumage.
