Identification
A distinctive mid-sized parrotbill with a highly restricted range; limited to a small part of central China where it inhabits mid- to high-altitude montane scrub and open forests with dense low cover, particularly bamboo stands. Dull brown with a gray head, long black eyebrow, and a dark rusty-red face and throat. Moves in small flocks and vocalizes frequently, giving jumbled high-pitched squeaks and rattly trills.
