The Manipur fulvetta or streak-throated fulvetta (Fulvetta manipurensis)


The Manipur fulvetta or streak-throated fulvetta (Fulvetta manipurensis) is a bird species in the family Paradoxornithidae. It is named for the state of Manipur in Northeast India. Like the other typical fulvettas, it was long included in the Timaliidae genus Alcippe or in the Sylviidae. Large-headed small brown bird with a grayish-brown head, dark brown brow, and orange sides and wings. Fine brown streaking on throat often not noticeable. Reminiscent of Gray-hooded Fulvetta in shape and general patterning, but browner-headed and darker-toned overall. Moves about in the lower and middle levels in small flocks, sometimes with other species. Calls frequently and noisily, giving trills, twitters, and chatters.
