Austen's Brown Hornbill is a medium-sized, primarily brown hornbill found in parts of Southeast Asia, closely related to the Rusty-cheeked Hornbill. It is characterized by its plain brown plumage, a pale bill, and a small, low casque.
Where to spot
Found in parts of Southeast Asia, including northeastern India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Inhabits evergreen and deciduous forests, often in hilly areas.
How to spot
Look for its plain brown plumage and pale bill. Its slightly larger size and specific range help distinguish it from the Rusty-cheeked Hornbill where ranges overlap. Listen for its relatively soft, cackling calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, typically seen in small groups foraging in trees.
