Telophorus quadricolor The gorgeous bushshrike (Telophorus viridis) is a species of bird in the family Malaconotidae.

Others split the taxon into two species: T. viridis and T. quadricolor.

Gorgeous bush-shrikes are seldom seen despite being a commonly occurring species, as they mostly dwell in densely vegetated woodlands.

They are primarily insectivorous, gleaning insects from the understory growth they inhabit.
