White-rumped Babbler

Turdoides leucopygia

The White-rumped Babbler (Turdoides leucopygia) is a small to medium-sized bird found in the Indian subcontinent. It is known for its distinctive white rump and brownish-grey plumage. These social birds are often found in small flocks, foraging for insects and small invertebrates in dense undergrowth and scrub forests. They have a melodious and varied song, often heard in the early morning. White-rumped Babblers are known for their cooperative breeding behavior, with multiple individuals helping to raise the young. Although not currently classified as threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential threats to their populations.
