Black-browed Fulvetta Alcippe grotei

Aptly-named; looks like a Yunnan or Mountain Fulvetta that went overboard with eyeliner. Warm brown with a pale belly and gray head. Black stripe very slightly and elegantly arches up above the eye. Larger than Mountain and Yunnan Fulvettas, and more warmly-colored than the former. Due to the lack of a prominent eyering, it also appears less smaller-eyed and less “cute” than those species. Inhabits broadleaved forests, where it can often be found as a part of large mixed flocks. Song is a brief series of rather bland plaintive phrases. Calls are harsh rolling chatters.
