Brown-capped Laughingthrush Trochalopteron austeni

A chunky bird with a floppy tail and brown upperparts. Note the extensive white-tipped scale-like pattern on the underparts, and the white tips to the wing feathers and the tail. Shy and skulking, usually found in pairs or in small groups. Inhabits undergrowth in forests and scrub. The call is a loud burst of sweet, hard whistles.
