The Intermediate Shrike-babbler is a relatively nondescript species, often identified by its position between other shrike-babblers in plumage and range. It is a canopy-dwelling bird, typically found in dense montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in parts of mainland Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. It inhabits montane evergreen forests.
How to spot
Look for its subtle plumage differences from other shrike-babblers, often requiring careful observation. Listen for its calls, which can be similar to related species. Scan the mid to upper canopy, often within mixed-species foraging flocks.
When to spot
Active year-round in its tropical montane habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early mornings.
