The Rufous-necked Laughingthrush (Delesserte's) is a striking species with a prominent rufous-colored neck and throat, contrasting with a darker head and olive-brown body. This social and vocal bird typically moves in small groups through the undergrowth of evergreen forests. It is endemic to parts of southern India.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Western Ghats and associated hills of southern India. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and secondary growth in moist evergreen forests, primarily at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often chattering calls. Look for groups moving through dense undergrowth. The rufous neck and throat are clear identification marks.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its limited range. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to observe them, as they are most active and vocal then.
