Spotted
The Rufous-vented Yuhina is a charming species found in the high-altitude forests of the Himalayas and China. It is characterized by its rufous undertail coverts.
Where to spot
Found in the Himalayas (Nepal, Bhutan, northeast India) and across southern and central China. Inhabits high-altitude temperate forests, bamboo thickets, and rhododendron forests.
How to spot
Look for the rufous wash on its undertail coverts, often seen when it hops or flits. It has a slight crest and generally brown plumage. Often found in small, active flocks, foraging for insects and nectar. Listen for its high-pitched, conversational calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day. Best observed during spring and summer when birds are more vocal.
Its rufous vent, while subtle, is a key field mark that distinguishes it from other similar yuhinas in its range.
