Nilgiri blue robin
The Nilgiri blue robin (''Myiomela major''), also known as Nilgiri shortwing, white-bellied shortwing or rufous-bellied shortwing refers to a kind of bird in the family Muscicapidae endemic to the Shola forests of the higher hills of southern India, mainly north of the Palghat Gap. Both the white-bellied blue robin and this species were once treated as sub-species of a single species (''M. major'') and in 2005 were elevated again to full species by Pamela C. Rasmussen, a treatment that is followed by a few lists. The genus placement remains uncertain. This small bird is found on the forest floor and undergrowth of dense forest patches sheltered in the valleys of montane grassland, a restricted and threatened habitat.
==Description==
This chat-like bird is long-legged and appears chunky with its short tail and wing. Although sharing similar habits and shape, the two species differ in plumage and both may show slight sexual dimorphism. Females may differ from males in iris colour at least in ''M. albiventris''.〔
The Nilgiri blue robin (''M. major'') has the lores black and the upperside, the throat, breast are dark slaty blue but the lower plumage is rufous. The centre of the belly is buffy white. The brow is not as well-marked as in the other species and is diffuse bluish.
