The Grey-bellied Wren-babbler is a shy and elusive ground-dwelling bird, characterized by its duller plumage and greyish underparts. It prefers dense, damp forest habitats.
Where to spot
Primarily found in montane regions of Myanmar, particularly the Chin Hills and Rakhine Yoma mountains. It inhabits dense, humid evergreen forests with thick undergrowth.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, whistled song. Observe patiently near dense thickets and leaf litter on the forest floor, as it is very secretive and moves quickly.
When to spot
Resident and observable year-round. Like other wren-babblers, it's most active during the cooler parts of the day.

Unlike some of its more vibrantly colored relatives, the Grey-bellied Wren-babbler's subdued plumage makes it an expert at blending into the dappled light of the forest floor.
