The grey-cheeked fulvetta, or Morrison's fulvetta, is a bird in the laughingthrush family about 14cm long, with brown upperparts, buff underparts and a predominantly grey head. It has a conspicuous white eye-ring and narrow dark stripes along the sides of the crown. It occupies a range of habitats from 600 to 3,000m, sometimes as low as 50m (Wikipedia, general species account).
Its call is a weak 'chi-chi-chu-chui'. It readily joins mixed-species feeding flocks, where it is a nucleus species around which other birds congregate (Wikipedia, general species account).
