The greater necklaced laughingthrush is a member of the family Leiothrichidae found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam, and introduced to Hawaii. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and moist montane forest (Wikipedia, general species account).
In mixed-species foraging flocks, greater necklaced laughingthrushes tend to be dominant, and the mimicry of the species by the lesser necklaced laughingthrush may have been selected for as a result. It was formerly placed in Garrulax and moved to Pterorhinus after a 2018 molecular study. The source read gives no plumage, size, diet or breeding information.
