Where to spot
Endemic to the Naung Mung area in Kachin State, northern Myanmar, primarily found in dense, mossy montane evergreen forests at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its unique, quiet, and repetitive calls. Look for subtle movements on the forest floor, often near fallen logs or dense bamboo. Its plain brown plumage provides excellent camouflage, so focus on sound and patience.
