The Malabar whistling thrush (Myophonus horsfieldii) is a whistling thrush in the family Muscicapidae. The bird has been called whistling schoolboy for the whistling calls that they make at dawn that have a very human quality.[3] The species is a resident in the Western Ghats and associated hills of peninsular India including central India and parts of the Eastern Ghats.
