Vireonidae — Vireos, Greenlets, Shrike-babblers

White-browed Shrike-babbler, Pteruthius aeralatus, is a passerine of the Vireonidae family found in the western Himalayas, Myanmar, Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo and southern Vietnam. It lives in montane forest across this Oriental range. The species shows clear differences between males and females, and its plumage varies from place to place, with several populations treated as subspecies. It is also part of a cryptic species complex. Edward Blyth described it in 1855, and the name honours him.
