White-tailed Rubythroat

Myiomela leucura

The White-tailed Rubythroat is a small passerine bird found in the eastern Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive white tail and vibrant ruby-red throat patch in males. The females are more subtly colored, with a brownish-gray plumage. These birds are often found in dense undergrowth and forest edges, where they forage for insects and small invertebrates. They are known for their melodious and varied songs, which they use to establish territories and attract mates. The White-tailed Rubythroat is not currently considered to be at risk, but habitat loss and degradation are potential threats to its populations.
