Appearance
The white-browed shrike-babbler is sexually dimorphic. There are many variations between the populations and some are more distinctive than others but they may not be easy to diagnose in the field. In general appearance it is very similar to the Himalayan shrike-babbler but all subspecies with the exception of "validirostris" have the tertials of males partly coloured rufous and partly fulvous.The common name commemorates Edward Blyth, who published the description and notes based on Samuel Tickell's specimen. It was earlier called Tickell's shrike-Tit.
Naming
It is part of a cryptic species complex and was earlier lumped as a subspecies of the white-browed shrike-babbler. Clements lumps this bird into the white-browed shrike-babbler.References:
