ndian Scimitar Babbler (Pomatorhinus horsfieldii) The Indian Scimitar Babbler (Pomatorhinus horsfieldii) is an Old World babbler. It is found in peninsular India and is found in a range of forest habitats. They are most often detected by their distinctive call which is an antiphonal duet produced by pairs within small groups. They are often hard to see as they forage through dense vegetation. The long curve yellow, scimitar-shaped bills give them their name. It has been treated in the past as subspecies of the White-browed Scimitar Babbler which is found along the Himalayas but now separated into two species, the peninsular Indian species and the Sri Lanka Scimitar Babbler (Pomatorhinus melanurus).
