The Chestnut-rumped Babbler is a medium-sized babbler with a distinctive chestnut rump and flanks, along with intricate scaling on its head and breast. It is a shy species of dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found across Southeast Asia, including Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, and some smaller surrounding islands. It inhabits lowland evergreen forests, often in dense tangles and along forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its chestnut rump and scaly patterns on the head and breast. It typically forages low in dense vegetation. Listen for its soft, whistled calls, which can sometimes lead to a sighting.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. It can be challenging to see due to its skulking nature.
