Wynaad laughingthrush
The Wynaad laughingthrush (''Garrulax delesserti'') is a species of laughingthrush in the Leiothrichidae family. It is endemic to the Western Ghats south of Goa in India. These laughingthrushes move in groups in dense forests, producing loud calls but tend to be hard to spot in the undergrowth. They have brown upperparts, a white throat, a broad black mask through the eye and a heavy bill with pale yellow on the lower mandible. Despite the name, derived from the Wayanad region, this species has a wider range than the two other south Indian species of laughingthrush that are restricted to the higher elevation hills.
==Description==
This species has dark brownish-grey upperparts, a black mask and a white throat. The breast is grey while the belly and underside are rufous. It has some resemblance to ''Garrulax gularis'' of northeastern India which has a yellow throat. Some older treatments considered lumped ''delesserti'' with ''gularis''. The ranges of ''delesserti'' and ''gularis'' are widely disjunct but museum specimens can be told apart by the pale lower mandible of ''delesserti'' unlike the all dark bill of ''gularis''. The tail is uniformly coloured and is darker than the back in ''delesserti'' while that of ''gularis'' is pale with rufous outer tail feathers. The chin is yellow in ''gularis'' while white in ''delesserti''. The generic placement of this species has varied over time and has been placed in the past under ''Dryonastes'' and ''Garrulax''. A 2012 phylogenetic study suggests that it should be separated from ''Garrulax'' under the genus ''Ianthocincla''.
The species is named in honour of Adolphe Delessert who collected a specimen in 1839 from near Kotagiri. Jerdon described the species as ''Crateropus delesserti''. Another description was later published by de Lafresnaye in 1840.
