You probably mean white-throated laughingthrush (whistling thrushes have a distinct different, very recognisable shape, I guess you just momentarily mixed up the two while typing). Still, I would put this up for an ID debate... the beak looks very Turdoides babbler-like, unlike a laughingthrush's beak. I do agree however that the plumage looks a lot like a WTLT's, and yes I would put my guess on WTLT. Just not experienced enough with these Eastern Himalayan babblers to be 100% sure.

I definitely meant White throated Laughing Thrush.Please make the necessary correction.

Lovely frame. Wild life have a lovely way of making the places ravaged by the hand of man look good again. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
