Yunnan Fulvetta

The Yunnan fulvetta (Alcippe fratercula) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae. It is endemic to southern China, southeastern Myanmar, and northern Indochina. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Three subspecies are recognised: A. f. yunnanensis Harington, HH, 1913 – southern China (southern Sichuan and eastern Yunnan) to northeastern Myanmar (Kachin) A. f. fratercula Rippon, G, 1900 – central Myanmar to southern China, northern Thailand, and northwestern Laos A. (Wikipedia, general species account).

f. laotiana Delacour, JT, 1926 – north-central and central Laos and north-central Vietnam Babblers and their close allies are generally active passerines of forest, scrub or undergrowth. Many travel in pairs, family parties or mixed-species flocks while searching foliage, bark and leaf litter for invertebrates, sometimes adding fruit or seeds. Voice and social behaviour are often useful identification clues. These are family-level notes rather than Vietnam-specific breeding measurements (general babbler ecology).
