πTheΒ Himalayan shrike-babbler Β (Pteruthius ripleyi) is aΒ birdΒ speciesΒ found in the western Himalayas that belongs to theΒ shrike-babblerΒ group. The genus was once considered to be an aberrantΒ Old World babblerΒ and placed in theΒ familyΒ Timaliidae untilΒ molecular phylogeneticΒ studies showed them to be closely related to theΒ vireosΒ of the New World, leading to their addition in the familyΒ Vireonidae. Males and females have distinctive plumages, with the males being all black about with a cinnamon-rufous tertial patch and a distinctive white stripe running from behind the eye. The underside is whitish with some pinkish buff on the flanks. Females have a greyish head, lack the white stripe and have the upperparts and wings with greens, yellow and chestnut. The species is part of aΒ cryptic species complexΒ that was earlier considered as one species,Β white-browed shrike-babblerΒ (P. flaviscapisΒ in the broad sense) with several subspecies . β£π EOS Canon 700D Tamron G2 600mm π¦ ππ . πΎ Follow & Use Tag‡ #tamronindia #tamronlens #himalayanshrikebabbler #himachalwildlifepicture #shrike #chamba #capturedoncanon β£π #birdsworld #himachal #animals #flowers #savebirds #indianbirds #birds #wildlifephotos #birdlife #canon #canonshots #wildlife #photography #natgeo ππ§#birdsofhimachal #himachalwildlife #bullfinch #shrikebird #himachalbirds #birdsphotography #birdsphotos #canonphotography π ποΈποΈπ¦πΊπ¦ #tamron "Save Wildlife & Save World."ποΈβ€οΈ @tamronindia @canonasia @canon_photos @best_birds_of_ig @best_birds_planet @natgeo @natgeoindia @bbcearth @wildlifeindia @natgeochannel @natgeowild @natgeoasia @discovery @birds_captures @birds.nature @birds_private @best_birds_of_ig @wild.planet @sanctuaryasia @birds_adored @lonelyplanetmagazineindia @natgeoyourshot @canonasia @best_birds_planet @best_birds_of_world @animalplanetindia @discoverychannelin @wildlifesos ποΈπ²ππ₯π¦ (at Chamba, Himachal Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM95_3GpRiT/?igshid=cqmhjkio4tl3
