Nepalzweigdrossling Alcippe nipalensis

Very similar to Yunnan, David’s, and other “gray-cheeked” fulvettas, but with a more pronounced pale eye-ring and black brow stripe, as well as warmer sepia tones on the wings and a white chin. Inhabits foothill to highland forests and edges, where it roves around in flocks, foraging in the middle and lower levels. Call notes are composed of buzzy chatters. Song is a short series of rather harsh notes, similar to that of the other “gray-cheeked” fulvettas, but averaging slower.
