Alternative names: Brown-capped Fulvetta; Brown-eared Fulvetta; Gould's Fulvetta; Gould's Nun-Babbler; Rufous Fulvetta; Rufous-headed Fulvetta
- Schoeniparus brunneus
Identification
13cm - 13.5cm (5-5¼ in)
- Brown above
- Rufous cap with thin black line
- Grey buff below
- Light brown iris
- Dark brown bill
- Pink legs
Sexes similar.
Similar species
Distinguished from Rusty-capped Fulvetta by very different facial appearance with supercilium and neck side grey and ear-coverts buffy grey.
Distribution
Found in south, central and east China and Taiwan.
Following Clements the range would expand to India, Burma, Laos and Vietnam (see Taxonomy).
Common in parts of its range.
Taxonomy
Has been considered to be conspecific with Rusty-capped Fulvetta, but the two occur sympatrically in China. However, the boundaries between this two species are not clear and some subspecies are either placed in one or in the other species.
Formerly placed in genus Alcippe or in Pseudominla.
Subspecies
Five subspecies accepted[1]:
- S. b. brunneus in Taiwan
- S. b. argutus on Hainan (China)
- S. b. superciliaris in southeast China (Guangxi to Hunan, Anhi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong)
- S. b. weigoldi in the Red Basin of Sichuan (China)
- S. b. olivaceus in southcentral China (Sichuan to Shaanxi, Hubei and Guizhou)
Clements doesn't accept weigoldi and places mandellii, genestieri and intermedia (subspecies of Rusty-capped Fulvetta) in this species. However this view is not generally accepted in the region.
Habitat
Broadleaf evergreen forest and grass-jungle. Found at 600m to 1700m in China, mainly at 1525 - 1830m in Taiwan.
Behaviour
Diet
Feeds on insects, snails and seeds.
Usually seen near the ground, skulking, in small groups.
Breeding

Movements
Resident species.
