Rufous-winged laughingthrush

Montecincla meridionalis

The Rufous-winged laughingthrush (Montecincla meridionalis) is a medium-sized bird found in the forests and scrublands of southern China and northern Vietnam. It is known for its distinctive rufous wings and a striking black and white facial pattern. This species is often found in small groups, foraging on the forest floor for insects, seeds, and berries. The Rufous-winged laughingthrush is known for its melodious and varied songs, which are often heard echoing through the dense undergrowth. Despite being relatively common in its range, habitat loss and degradation pose significant threats to this species.
