The Rufous-necked Scimitar-babbler is a strikingly marked babbler with a rufous neck and a prominent white supercilium, contrasting with its black-streaked crown. It's a vocal resident of dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Distributed across South and Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Inhabits broadleaf evergreen and temperate forests, especially with thick undergrowth and bamboo.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, clear, and far-carrying whistled calls, often described as 'pom-pom-pom'. Look for its rufous neck and prominent white eyebrow as it forages on or near the ground in dense vegetation, often flicking its long, curved bill.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/early summer) and active in the early morning and late afternoon.
