This is a terrific photo of what used to be called Rusty and is now split from the similar Taiwanese species and is now called Buffy Laughingthrush Garrulax berthemeyi.
They are restricted to forested uplands in south and southeast China, and can often be shy and rather difficult to see.
Congratulations! What else did your friend see there? - its a mountain few birders visit.
Cheers

Well-known member.....apparently so ;)
Agreed - also known as Chestnut-winged (genus has changed too to Dyonastes) Photo does look a little over-saturated!!

Many thanks for that Mike and Adam.
Unfortunately she didn't see any other birds!? She is a photographer first and foremost and points her lens at anything that comes within range. She tends towards 'arty' interpretations - hence the oversaturation!
Cheers,
Steve.

Apologies - I have no wish to 'hijack' this thread, but Buffy Laughingthrush is a brilliant name.
