Grey-bellied Tesia

Tesia cyaniventer

The Grey-bellied Tesia is a small, insectivorous bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its olive-brown upperparts, grey underparts, and a distinct white eye-ring. This species is known for its secretive behavior, often foraging in dense undergrowth and remaining hidden from view. It primarily feeds on insects and small invertebrates. The Grey-bellied Tesia is known for its melodious, high-pitched song that echoes through the forest understory. Despite its widespread distribution, this species faces threats from habitat loss and degradation.
