Northern Pied-Babbler
Only found in Kenya and Tanzania
...easily separated from other babblers
by the strikingly light-and-dark plumage.
Turdoides hypoleuca
(L 8-9")
Nairobi National Park

Brownish grey yellow billed
Babbling beaks joyous filled
With them around silence is gone
Have never seen them coming alone.
(Pradip Chattopadhyay)
Turdoides in Greek means
thrush resembling; hypoleuca
in Latin means white below.
