Slender-billed scimitar babbler
The slender-billed scimitar babbler ("Pomatorhinus superciliaris") is a passerine bird in the Old World babbler family. It is found from the Himalayas to north-western Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The slender-billed scimitar babbler was formerly placed in the monotypic genus "Xiphirhynchus". It was moved to "Pomatorhinus" based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study of the babblers published in 2009 that showed that it nested within a clade with other members of "Pomatorhinus".
