Found in the Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia, including Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China. It prefers high-altitude coniferous and mixed forests, often near tree line.

How to spot

Look for them in the canopy of high-altitude forests or feeding on the ground near the forest edge. The dark chest is a clear identifying feature for males. Listen for their calls.
