Where to spot
Inhabits temperate forests and open woodlands in the Himalayas, from Pakistan through India, Nepal, Bhutan, and into western China.
How to spot
Look for its greyish-brown body, black head, and distinctive long, pointed head feathers. Listen for its harsh, grating calls, which are typical of jays. It can be found in the canopy or foraging on the ground.

The elongated, lance-shaped feathers on its head give it a unique, somewhat shaggy appearance.
