The slender-billed babbler is a bird of the family Leiothrichidae found in Bangladesh, Nepal, north-east India and possibly Myanmar, in subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss. It was formerly placed in Turdoides but was moved to the resurrected genus Argya after a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study in 2018 (Wikipedia, general species account).
