Grey-chinned Minivet

The grey-chinned minivet is 17–19cm long and weighs 11–17g. The adult male has a dark grey head and mantle, a pale grey chin, an orange-yellow throat and blackish wings; in the female these parts are bright yellow. The eyes, bill and legs are black. It lives in montane forest at about 1,000–2,000m (Wikipedia, general species account).

It ranges from the eastern foothills of the Himalayas through north-eastern India, southern China, Taiwan and mainland South-east Asia to Sumatra and Borneo. Outside breeding it forms small parties of fewer than 15 birds and sometimes large flocks of dozens, and it sometimes joins mixed-species foraging flocks, foraging for invertebrates in the canopy (Wikipedia, general species account).
