Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Adorable small fulvetta with large, liquid cartoon eyes. Plain brown overall. Dark crown patterned with jagged pale streaks, and pale face marked with a broad black stripe above the ear and a smaller “teardrop” below the eye. Inhabits foothill and montane forests. Social and often found in mixed flocks. Clambers around agily on trunks and branches while foraging. Song is a rapid but somewhat halting series of high-pitched chip notes. Calls include similar chips, as well as rattles and sharp disyllabic notes.
