The Crested Finchbill is a distinctive bulbul-like bird, characterized by a shaggy crest, stout bill, and a mix of olive-green and grey plumage. It prefers montane forest habitats.
Where to spot
Found in montane evergreen forests and woodlands across parts of South and Southeast Asia, including the Himalayas, China, and Indochina.
How to spot
Look in the canopy of montane forests. Its prominent crest and distinctive bill are good identification features. Listen for its clear, whistling calls.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species, though some populations may undertake altitudinal movements.

Unlike many bulbuls, finchbills have a short, stout, finch-like bill, reflecting their diet of harder fruits and seeds, in addition to insects.
