Rufous-necked Laughingthrush

Pterorhinus ruficollis

Dark gray overall with a black face and pumpkin-orange neck and vent. Favors forest edge and scrubby habitat more than most other laughingthrushes in its range; also often found along rivers and in reedbeds. Forages on or near the ground; flocks in the non-breeding season. Gives loud whistles and burbling phrases, as well as harsh chattering and rasping notes.
