The Rufous-chinned Laughingthrush is a medium-sized, attractive species characterized by a rufous throat and chin, often with fine streaking on its breast. These highly vocal and social birds move in noisy groups through dense forest undergrowth. It is widespread across the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found across the Himalayas, northeastern India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. It inhabits broadleaf evergreen forests, dense bamboo thickets, and secondary growth from lowlands to high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for their characteristic loud, varied, and often 'laughing' calls. Look for groups actively foraging in dense undergrowth or on the forest floor. The rufous chin and throat are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident throughout its extensive range. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to observe them as they forage. Their vocalizations are most frequent during the breeding season.
