Sukatschev's Laughingthrush is a medium-sized, somewhat dull-plumaged laughingthrush with subtle streaking. This species is often shy and reclusive, preferring dense undergrowth in high-altitude forests. It is endemic to a very restricted range in central China.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very small area in central China, specifically in Gansu and northern Sichuan provinces. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo, and rhododendron thickets in montane coniferous and mixed forests at high elevations.
How to spot
Requires significant patience and luck. Listen for its quiet, often subdued calls from dense cover. Focus on areas with dense undergrowth in high-altitude forests. Binoculars are essential for close-up views if sighted.
When to spot
Present year-round in its limited range. Best observed during the spring and summer months when breeding activity makes them more vocal, particularly in the early mornings.

Sukatschev's Laughingthrush is one of the rarest and least-known laughingthrushes, primarily due to its restricted range and preference for remote, high-altitude habitats.
