Yellow-throated laughingthrush

Ianthocincla galbanaGarrulax galbanus The yellow-throated laughingthrush (Pterorhinus galbanus) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae.

It is found in grassy areas with bushes and trees, scrub and forest in the Patkai mountain range.

[1] Until recently, it included the blue-crowned laughingthrush as a subspecies, but unlike that species the crown of the yellow-throated laughingthrush is pale grey (not bluish).

The yellow-throated laughingthrush was formerly placed in the genus Garrulax but following the publication of a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study in 2018, it was moved to the resurrected genus Pterorhinus.
