Golden-crowned Babbler Sterrhoptilus dennistouni

A fairly small bird of lowland and foothill forest, open wooded areas with developed understory, bamboo, and tall grass. Has a gray back and cheek with fine pale streaks, dark wings and tail with white outer tail feathers, white underparts, and a yellow throat and crown. Note the slender black bill. Often joins mixed-species flocks. Somewhat similar to female Mugimaki Flycatcher, but differs in behavior and in its yellow crown. Gives soft “whip” calls while feeding.
