The brown-throated fulvetta or Ludlow's fulvetta (Fulvetta ludlowi)
The brown-throated fulvetta or Ludlow's fulvetta (Fulvetta ludlowi) is a species of bird in the family Paradoxornithidae. Like the other typical fulvettas, it was long included in the Timaliidae genus Alcippe or in the Sylviidae. It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, and Nepal. Orange-brown with black-and-white wing panels and a speckled white “beard” extending down the throat and up to either cheek. Inhabits high-elevation montane forests in the eastern Himalayas, where it usually forages in flocks in dense lower vegetation and in bamboo stands. Listen for its song, a pair or trio of high thin notes followed by a rapid-fire machine-gun rattle. Calls sound like broken-apart components of the song.
