The Afghan babbler (''Turdoides huttoni'') is a species of bird in the Leiothrichidae family. It is found from southeastern Iraq to south western Pakistan. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the common babbler. When compared to the common babbler, the Afghan babbler has a heavier bill and dark streaks on the breast and sides. The vocalizations are also different. The variation is sometimes considered to be clinal but two subspecies have been recognized. The Afghan babbler group includes ''salvadorii'' (De Filippi, 1865) found in Iraq and western Iran and ''huttoni'' (Blyth, 1847) from eastern Iran through Afghanistan east to southwestern Pakistan. ==References== *Collar, N.
