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.[1][2] The variation is sometimes considered to be clinal but two subspecies have been recognized.[3][4][5] 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.
