The golden-breasted
fulvetta (Lioparus chrysotis) is a species of songbird found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Vietnam. Its
natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Traditionally united with
the other "fulvettas" in Alcippe in the Old World babbler family (Timaliidae), it is actually closer to the typical warblers and hence placed in the Sylviidae even in their new, more restricted sense, in a monotypic genus Lioparus.
Other common
names:Golden-breasted Tit-babbler, Himalayan
Golden-breasted Tit-babbler.

thin, piercing, high-pitched 5-note “si-si-si-si-suu”.
