Common Babbler

The common babbler is a distinctly long-tailed, slim babbler, buff to grey above with dark streaks and a distinctive whitish throat; when moving on the ground it often keeps the long tail raised (Wikipedia, general species account).

It forages through undergrowth, hopping on the ground and creeping like a rodent, feeding on insects, berries and grains. Several breeding pairs may be found within a group, adults often preen the head and neck feathers of other members, and groups roost communally (Wikipedia, general species account).
