From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family Cinclosomatidae contains 9 species of passerine bird, including the 3 whipbirds, 2 wedgebills, and the quail-thrushes. All are native to Australia or nearby areas. The Malaysian Rail-babbler, Eupetes macrocerus, was formerly placed in this family, but is now regarded as an early offshoort of the Passerida and therefore placed in its own family Eupetidae.
