Rufous-headed Tailorbird

Basilornis corythaix

The Rufous-headed Tailorbird (Basilornis corythaix) is a small passerine bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive rufous-colored head and olive-green upperparts. This species is often observed foraging for insects and small invertebrates in the dense undergrowth, where its melodious and repetitive song can be heard. The Rufous-headed Tailorbird constructs its nest by sewing leaves together, a behavior that gives it its name. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential risks to its populations.

Habitat: Forest undergrowth
