Common or Sri Lanka Woodshrike

Tephrodornis [pondicerianus or affinis] (= Tephrodornis pondicerianus) (Gmelin, JF 1789)

The common woodshrike is a species of bird found in Asia. It is now usually considered a member of the family Vangidae. It is small and ashy brown with a dark cheek patch and a broad white brow. It is found across Asia mainly in thin forest and scrub habitats where they hunt insects, often joining other insectivorous birds. The form found in Sri Lanka which was treated as a subspecies is now usually considered a separate species, the Sri Lanka woodshrike. Source: Wikipedia
