The Black-headed Shrike-babbler (Pteruthius rufiventer) is a bird species traditionally placed with the Old World babblers in the family Timaliidae.[2] However, it might be one of the few Eurasian vireos (Vireonidae).

It is found in India, Bhutan, Tibet, Myanmar, Nepal, and Vietnam.[1] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
