About White-rumped Shama (Copsychus malabaricus)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Perching Birds
  • Family: Thrushes and Allies

The white-rumped shama is a passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. Native to densely vegetated habitats in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, its popularity as a cage-bird and songster has led to it being introduced elsewhere. The Larwo shama, the Kangean shama and the Sri Lanka shama were formerly considered to be conspecific with the white-rumped shama.
