Tephrodornis

Tephrodornis is a bird genus in the family Vangidae.

Taxonomy
The genus Tephrodornis was introduced in 1832 by the English naturalist William Swainson with the large woodshrike as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek tephōdēs meaning "like ashes" or "ash-coloured" with ornis meaning "bird".

The genus contains four species:
 * Large woodshrike, Tephrodornis virgatus
 * Malabar woodshrike, Tephrodornis sylvicola
 * Common woodshrike, Tephrodornis pondicerianus
 * Sri Lanka woodshrike, Tephrodornis affinis
