The Grey-cheeked Fulvetta is a widespread and variable species of babbler found across much of East and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its greyish face and ear-coverts, contrasting with rufous-brown upperparts and a pale belly.
Where to spot
Found across a broad range from the Himalayas and southern China through mainland Southeast Asia to Taiwan. Inhabits a variety of forest types, including evergreen, deciduous, and mixed forests, from lowlands to high mountains.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic chattering calls as it moves through the canopy and mid-story. Look for small, active birds gleaning insects from leaves. The grey cheeks and active nature are good indicators.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks, particularly in the mornings.
