Puff-throated Babbler

The puff-throated babbler, or spotted babbler, is brown above and white below with heavily brown-streaked breast and belly, and a white throat that is sometimes puffed out, giving the English name. Some subspecies have streaks on the mantle while others, especially in peninsular India, are unstreaked. It is found in scrub and moist forest mainly in hilly regions and is a common resident breeder in the Himalayas (Wikipedia, general species account).

It forages in small groups on the forest floor, turning over leaf litter to find prey and staying low in the undergrowth, where it can be hard to spot, though it has loud, distinct calls. The clutch varies from two to five eggs. The source does not describe its status in China (Wikipedia, general species account).
