The Rufous-capped Fulvetta is a widespread and common fulvetta species across East and Southeast Asia. It is recognized by its distinctive rufous cap and active foraging habits.
Where to spot
Ranges from the Himalayas through southern China, Taiwan, and mainland Southeast Asia. Inhabits a variety of forest types, from montane evergreen forests to bamboo thickets and secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for its prominent rufous or chestnut cap. It is an agile bird, constantly moving through foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, often repetitive, twittering calls, which help locate it in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Active during the day. Can be observed year-round, with increased vocalizations during the breeding season (spring-summer).

These fulvettas are highly social birds, frequently joining mixed-species foraging flocks, especially during the non-breeding season, to find food more efficiently.
