Marshall's Iora

Marshall's Iora (<em>Aegithina nigrolutea</em>) is a member of the family Aegithinidae. Available habitat association data for this species are limited, and no specific habitat types are recorded in the current dataset. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. It is currently assessed as Least Concern globally. The species constructs cup-shaped nests, a nesting strategy consistent with that of other ioras within the Aegithinidae family. Clutch size is reported to range from 2 to 3 eggs. Incubation period, fledging duration, dietary composition, vocalization characteristics, and the precise geographic range of this species across the Indian subcontinent are not fully documented in available sources. As an insectivorous passerine likely dependent on shrub and woodland habitats, it may be affected by land use changes in its range, though current assessments do not indicate population-level concern. Additional field observations would help characterize its ecology more fully.
