Yellow-Billed Babbler
This species is patchily distributed in southern India and Sri Lanka. The nominate subspecies is found in Andhra Pradesh, south of the Godavari river and Karnataka south of Belgaum into Tamil Nadu. It prefers lower altitudes and drier habitats than the Jungle Babbler but sometimes is found alongside it as in my backyard where these two cousins are often found quarreling. It can be distinguished from the Jungle Babbler by its light coloured head and nape and its bluish white eye.
