About the Rufous-vented Grass Babbler

The rufous-vented grass babbler or rufous-vented prinia (Laticilla burnesii) is a small warbler in the family Pellorneidae that occurs in Pakistan, northwestern India and Nepal. The rufous-vented grass babbler was described by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1844 under the binomial name Eurycercus burnesii. It is named after Alexander Burnes. Two subspecies are recognised: L. b. burnesii (Blyth, 1844) - Pakistan and northwest India L. b. nepalicola (Baral, Basnet, Chaudhary, B, Chaudhary, H, Giri & Som, 2008) - Nepal.
