scimitar-babbler, any of about 12 species of songbirds of the babbler family Timaliidae (order Passeriformes), which have long, curved bills used for uncovering insects in ground litter. Scimitar-babblers are 18 to 28 cm (7 to 11 inches) in length, with fairly long tails. Their plumage is mostly brown. They range through southern Asia to Australia and the Philippines. An example is the slaty-headed scimitar-babbler (Pomatorhinus schisticeps) found from India to Indochina. Another is the gray-crowned scimitar-babbler (Pomatostomus temporalis) of eastern Australia, which is black-masked.
