This is a rather slender babbler. Responded to my playback. It is a very
agile bird and it keeps to the middle storey 30 ft away. There was a pair of
them. Calling out loud in the shadows. All my shots blurred out. A resident of
Peninsula Malaysia and Southern Thailand.
It has a whitish throat with a distinct greyish black moustache streak from its beak like just like the Joker of Batman fame. Juvenile has a weaker streak. It also have some whiskers. Is is because of its whiskers or streak it is called a moustached babbler? Its size is longish 16.5cm. It is a lowland bird of evergreen forest upto 800m. Breeding starts in Feb- June. Feeds almost anything from insects, vertebrates, berries, nectar and fruits.Seldom come to the ground.
