Turdoides
See list Turdoides is a genus of passerine birds in the laughingthrush family Leiothrichidae.The species are distributed across Africa and southern Asia and are typically fairly large, long-tailed birds which forage in noisy groups.Several species that were included in Turdoides in the past have been reassigned to Argya following a 2018 study that found multiple clades.[1] The genus Turdoides was introduced in 1826 by the German physician Philipp Jakob Cretzschmar specifically for the white-headed babbler.[2] The name combines the thrush genus Turdus with the Ancient Greek -oidēs meaning "resembling".
