Liocichla ripponi

Rippon's Liocichla (Liocichla ripponi) is a medium-sized bird found in the eastern Himalayas. It is known for its striking plumage, with a combination of bright red, black, and white markings. This species is typically found in dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. Rippon's Liocichla is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. While not much is known about its population trends, the species is believed to be at risk due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
