The Rufous-winged Fulvetta is a widespread and common species of babbler, known for its active foraging behavior in mixed-species flocks. It is characterized by its rufous wing panel, grey head, and olive-brown body.
Where to spot
Widespread across much of Southeast Asia, from the Himalayas to Indochina and parts of the Sunda Islands. Inhabits a variety of forest types, including evergreen, deciduous, and montane forests, often in the understory and mid-canopy.
How to spot
Listen for its chattering calls and follow the sound of mixed-species flocks. Look for small, active birds moving rapidly through foliage. The rufous wing patch and grey head are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, but particularly vocal and visible during early mornings and late afternoons.

These fulvettas are highly social birds, often seen participating in large, noisy mixed-species feeding flocks that sweep through the forest understory and mid-canopy.
