White-speckled Laughingthrush
Ianthocincla bieti Oustalet, 1897
Leiothrichidae — Laughingthrushes & Allies
White-speckled Laughingthrush, Ianthocincla bieti, is a passerine of the family Leiothrichidae that breeds in south-west China. It is confined to China and lives in temperate forests. The species was first described by Oustalet in 1897. Its scientific name honours the French missionary Félix Biet. It was formerly included in Garrulax, but a 2018 molecular study led to its transfer back to Ianthocincla.
