The Slender-billed Scimitar-babbler is a small, relatively plain scimitar-babbler distinguished by its finer, less robust bill and lack of strong markings. It is a shy bird of dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in the eastern Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia, including Nepal, Bhutan, Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. Inhabits dense evergreen and deciduous forests, often near streams.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, resonant 'pop-pop-pop' or 'po-ho-ho' calls. Look for its less robust bill and general plain brownish plumage as it forages in the low understory or on the ground.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during the breeding season when males are more vocal. Mornings and late afternoons are generally good times.

Its 'slender bill' is a key identifier, differing from the more robust, typically red or yellow bills of many other scimitar-babbler species.
