Habitat:
Inhabits montane and submontane forest, open forest edge, drier woodland and more open scrub habitats, mostly at 1350-2750 m (König and Weick 2008), but occasionally up to 2,900 m (Rasmussen and Anderton 2012) and as low as c.700 m in China (MacKinnon and Phillipps 2000). On the Thai-Malay Peninsula, occurs only to 1,800 m (Wells 1999). Active and vocal during the day (and also at night), this species occurs in the canopy, feeding on insects and small birds (König and Weick 2008).

Range:
Widespread through South-East Asia. Comprises two subspecies: nominate from north-east Afghanistan (where perhaps no longer extant), Pakistan, through north India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Status in Bangladesh uncertain. Occurs throughout south-east mainland China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia south to Peninsular Malaysia. Subspecies pardalotum occurs in Taiwan, China.

Conservation:

Conservation Actions Underway
Occurs in numerous protected areas.

Conservation Actions Proposed  

Continue to monitor habitat loss using remote sensing data. Research densities in different habitat types to establish whether habitat degradation is likely to be causing considerable declines.
