Remarks :Normally seen in large groups and also in mixed hunting parties. You always keep close watch on these beauties because Bugun Liocichla Liocichla bugunorum is very often seen with them. Also at lower altitudes they form groups with Coral-billed Scimitar Babblers and Red-faced Liocichlas. These birds are always on the move inside the thick foliage. - MK
