The Rufous-backed Laughingthrush is a large, distinctive species named for the prominent rufous or reddish-brown coloration on its back and wings. These highly vocal birds are often found in noisy flocks, foraging through the understory of moist forests. It is native to parts of 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, bamboo thickets, and dense scrub, often at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for their loud, varied, and often 'laughing' calls. Look for groups moving actively through the undergrowth and lower canopy. The rufous back and wings are the key identification features.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range and can be observed year-round. Early morning and late afternoon are the most active periods for foraging and vocalizations.
