The rufous-capped babbler is a small, pale-olive bird with a conspicuous bright-rufous crown and nape. It measures about 12cm and weighs 7–12g. Its range extends from the eastern Himalayas through northern Thailand and Laos to eastern China, Vietnam and Taiwan. The species inhabits temperate forest where dense bushes or bamboo provide low, concealing cover. The opened source uses Cyanoderma ruficeps, distinguishing it from similarly named taxa formerly placed in Stachyris. (Wikipedia, general species account)
