Spotted
The Chestnut-headed Tesia is a very small, short-tailed, and plump warbler distinguished by its bright chestnut-orange head. It is an inhabitant of dense, damp undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in dense, wet undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and forest edges, often near streams, across parts of South and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, far-carrying song, which is the primary method of detection for this very skulking species. Be patient and watch for quick movements low to the ground.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most vocal during the breeding season, often in early mornings and late afternoons.

Its vibrant head coloration makes it one of the most distinctive 'tesia-like' birds, though it's notoriously difficult to spot in its dense habitat.
