Red-winged Laughingthrush

The red-winged laughingthrush is a bird in the laughingthrush family, 27–28cm long, with mostly brown plumage and large areas of red in the wings and tail. The crown and ear-coverts are grey with dark streaks and the throat dark. The red-tailed laughingthrush is similar but has a rufous crown and greyer back and breast (Wikipedia, general species account).

It has a loud, whistling song and is elusive, travelling in pairs or small groups in dense cover near the forest floor. Little is known of its breeding, but in China it takes place in June and July (Wikipedia, general species account).
