The Grey-sided Sibia is a striking, active bird characterized by its sleek grey sides, rufous back, and often prominent white wing-bar. It is typically found singly or in small groups, foraging in the mid-story and canopy of montane forests. This species is native to Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found in mainland Southeast Asia, including parts of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It inhabits evergreen and mixed deciduous forests, often in bamboo and secondary growth, primarily at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its active movements in the mid to upper canopy. Listen for its distinctive, often repeated whistling or chattering calls. The grey sides, rufous back, and wing-bar are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range and observable year-round. It is most active during the early morning and late afternoon, foraging in the canopy.

The Sibias were formerly part of the laughingthrush family, but recent genetic studies have placed them in their own distinct group within the Leiothrichidae, reflecting their unique evolutionary path.
