Pomatorhinus
''Pomatorhinus '' is a genus of scimitar babblers, jungle birds with long downcurved bills. These are birds of tropical Asia, with the greatest number of species occurring in hills of the Himalayas. These are medium-sized, floppy-tailed landbirds with soft plumage. They are typically long-tailed, dark brown above, and white or orange-brown below. Many have striking head patterns, with a broad black band through the eye, bordered with white above and below. They have strong legs and are quite terrestrial. Like other babblers, these are noisy birds, and the characteristic bubbling calls are often the best indication that these birds are present. As with other babbler species, they frequently occur in groups of up to a dozen, and the rainforest species like Indian scimitar babbler often occur in the mixed feeding flocks typical of tropical Asian jungle. Species The genus contains 10 species: The following cladogram shows the relationships within the genera according to a 2019 phy ...

Indian Scimitar Babbler
The Indian scimitar babbler (''Pomatorhinus horsfieldii'') is an Old World babbler. It is found in peninsular India in a range of forest habitats. They are most often detected by their distinctive calls which include an antiphonal duet by a pair of birds. They are often hard to see as they forage through dense vegetation. The long curved yellow, scimitar-shaped bills give them their name. It has been treated in the past as subspecies of the white-browed scimitar babbler which is found along the Himalayas but now separated into two species, the peninsular Indian species and the Sri Lanka scimitar babbler (''Pomatorhinus melanurus''). Description The most distinctive feature of this 22 cm long bird is the long down-curved yellow bill which is blackish at the base of the upper mandible. It has a striking head pattern, with a long white supercilium above a broad black band through the eye. The white throat and breast contrast with the dark greyish brown on the upperside and dark ...

Taiwan Scimitar Babbler
The Taiwan scimitar babbler (''Pomatorhinus musicus'') is a bird in the family Timaliidae, the Old World babblers. It is endemic to Taiwan. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1859. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the streak-breasted scimitar babbler. Its population is declining, but not rapidly enough for it to be considered vulnerable.

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''.

Sri Lanka Scimitar Babbler
The Sri Lanka scimitar babbler or Ceylon scimitar babbler (''Pomatorhinus melanurus'') is an Old World babbler. It is endemic to the island of Sri Lanka, and was formerly treated as a subspecies of Indian scimitar babbler. The nominate form is found in the western part of wet hill regions of Sri Lanka, while race ''holdsworthi'' is found in the dry lowlands and eastern hills. In culture Most scimitar babbler species are referred as ''parandel kurulla'' by the Sinhala speaking community. The term 'parandel' refers to dried grass and probably refers to the color of the bird. The vernacular name of the bird ''parandel kurulla'' roughly translates to English as 'dried-grass colored bird'.
