The chestnut-winged babbler (Cyanoderma erythropterum) is a babbler species in the family Timaliidae.
Description
[edit | edit source]The chestnut-winged babbler is chestnut-brown with a greyish face and underparts, and is 12.5–13.5 cm (4.9–5.3 in) long. It feeds on small Coleoptera beetles, Phasmida insects, ants, and Hemiptera bugs.[2] Its foraging strategy is gleaning.[3]
Timalia erythroptera was the scientific name proposed by Edward Blyth in 1842 for an olive-brown babbler from Nepal.[4] It was later placed in the genus Stachyris, but since 2020 is recognised as a Cyanoderma species.[5][2] The grey-hooded babbler (C. bicolor) of Borneo was formerly considered conspecific.[6]
Distribution and habitat
[edit | edit source]The chestnut-winged babbler occurs in the Malay Peninsula from southern Thailand to Singapore, and in Sumatra. It inhabits forests and shrublands up to an elevation of 800 m (2,600 ft). It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.[1]
