The Rufous-winged Fulvetta is a small, energetic babbler characterized by its distinctive rufous wing patch. It's often encountered as part of mixed-species foraging flocks in its forest habitat, actively gleaning insects.
Where to spot
Primarily found across Southeast Asia, including countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo, Java), and southern Myanmar. It inhabits broadleaf evergreen and deciduous forests, from lowlands to lower montane areas.
How to spot
Look for its diagnostic rufous wing patch and active, restless movements within dense foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, repetitive 'wit-chu-wit-chu' calls, which are often the easiest way to locate a flock.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species throughout its range. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when it is most active in foraging.

Despite its small size, the Rufous-winged Fulvetta is known for its surprisingly loud and far-carrying vocalizations, which are often the first sign of its presence.
