Rufous-headed Parrotbill

The rufous-headed parrotbill (Paradoxornis bakeri), or greater rufous-headed parrotbill, is a bird in the family Paradoxornithidae and is found in eastern Asia from the eastern Himalayas to Indochina. Taxonomy and systematics The rufous-headed parrotbill was alternatively considered as a member of the family Timaliidae, or in the Sylviidae, but it actually seems to belong to the distinct family Paradoxornithidae. It was formerly considered as conspecific with the white-breasted parrotbill. (Wikipedia, general species account).

Distribution and habitat The natural habitats of the rufous-headed parrotbill are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The accessible general account establishes the species identity, distribution and the natural-history points stated above. Behaviour, diet and breeding can vary geographically, and the available source does not support adding precise Vietnam-specific measurements or nesting dates. This profile therefore retains only species-wide information that can be stated defensibly, rather than filling gaps with unsupported local claims (Wikipedia, general species account).
