rail-babbler

rail-babbler

▪ bird
      any member of the songbird subfamily Orthonychinae (order Passeriformes), placed by some authorities with other babblers in the family Timaliidae and by others near the subfamily Timaliinae when the latter are placed in the Muscicapidae. It is also the particular name of species that look much like rails: small-headed, thin-necked, and long-legged, with tails carried cocked up.

      Unlike rails (which are quite different birds), the rail-babblers have small feet and rather thrushlike bills. Their plumage is mostly black, blue, or reddish. They are found in thick forests from Malaysia to New Guinea.
