Ashy-throated Parrotbill Suthora alphonsiana

A small long-tailed bird with vaguely unnerving pale eyes. Dark gray-brown overall with a bright rusty-orange crown and wings. Similar to Vinous-throated and Brown-winged parrotbills but much grayer and darker overall; has the most limited warm tones of the three. Fairly common in lowlands and foothills, where it can be found in broadleaved forests, bamboo stands, and adjoining secondary growth and scrubby edges.
