Rufous-bellied Triller

Lalage typica

The Rufous-bellied Triller (Lalage typica) is a small passerine bird found in Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive rufous belly and grey upperparts, with a black mask around its eyes. This species is often found in open woodlands, forest edges, and gardens, where it forages for insects by making short sallies from perches. The Rufous-bellied Triller is known for its melodious and varied song, which it uses to communicate with its mate and defend its territory. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential threats to its populations.
