Spotted
The Rusty-cheeked Laughingthrush is a distinctive medium-sized species named for the rufous or rusty-colored patches on its cheeks. This vocal and social bird typically moves in small to medium-sized groups through the undergrowth of montane forests. It is native to 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 rusty cheek patches are the key identification features.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range and observable year-round. Early morning and late afternoon are the most active periods for foraging and vocalizations.
