Where to spot
Found in the central and eastern Himalayas, including Nepal, Bhutan, northeastern India, and parts of Myanmar and China. Inhabits dense undergrowth of montane evergreen forests and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Listen for its soft, often repetitive, whistling or chattering calls. Look for movement in dense foliage. Its plain brownish plumage and short tail are key features, requiring a good view for positive ID.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Often observed in small, cohesive groups or mixed flocks.
This species is often found in mixed-species foraging flocks, where it moves actively through the lower canopy and undergrowth alongside other small birds.
