Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Leiothrichidae > Garrulax > Garrulax delessertiGarrulax delesserti (Wynaad Laughingthrush)Synonyms: Pterorhinus delesserti (homotypic) The Wynaad laughingthrush (Garrulax delesserti) is a species of laughingthrush in the Leiothrichidae family. It is endemic to the Western Ghats south of Goa in India. These laughingthrushes move in groups in dense forests, producing loud calls but tend to be hard to spot in the undergrowth. They have brown upperparts, a white throat, a broad black mask through the eye and a heavy bill with pale yellow on the lower mandible. Despite the name, derived from the Wayanad region, this species has a wider range than the two other south Indian species of laughingthrush that are restricted to the higher elevation hills. |
