Marshall's Iora is a striking Iora species found in specific dry regions of the Indian subcontinent. It is distinguished by its more pronounced black markings and brighter yellow compared to the Common Iora.
Where to spot
Found in dry scrub, open woodlands, and thorny bushland primarily in parts of India and Pakistan.
How to spot
Distinguish it from the Common Iora by its brighter yellow and more extensive black on the back and wings, especially in males. Listen for its unique, somewhat harsher calls. It often forages in the lower to mid-canopy.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly noticeable during its breeding season when males display more openly.

Marshall's Iora was once considered a subspecies of the Common Iora, but distinctive plumage, vocalizations, and genetic studies have led to its recognition as a separate species.
