Yuhina flavicollis

The Whiskered Yuhina is a small songbird found in the eastern Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its striking black and white plumage, with a distinctive yellow collar. This species is often found in mixed-species foraging flocks, where it flits through the forest canopy in search of insects and small fruits. The Whiskered Yuhina is known for its melodious and varied calls, contributing to the rich tapestry of sounds in its montane forest habitat. While not currently considered threatened, the species may face habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation and human encroachment.
