White-bellied Erpornis

Erpornis zantholeuca

The White-bellied Erpornis is a small passerine bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It has a distinctive white belly, olive-green upperparts, and a black mask around its eyes. This species is known for its high-pitched and melodious calls. It forages for insects and small fruits in the forest canopy, often in mixed-species flocks. The White-bellied Erpornis is typically found in mature broadleaf evergreen forests and secondary growth woodlands. It is known for its agile and acrobatic flight as it moves through the dense foliage. Although not globally threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential threats to this species.
