嘰咋栗額鵙鶥

The Clicking Shrike-babbler, Pteruthius intermedius, is a small, chunky passerine bird in the family Vireonidae found in the montane forests of Southeast Asia and the eastern Himalayas, ranging from northeastern India and Bhutan through Myanmar, northern Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. The species inhabits subtropical and temperate broadleaf montane forests at elevations generally between 1,500 and 3,000 meters, where it forages actively in the forest canopy and mid-story for insects, larvae, and small berries. Males display striking plumage with a gray head, rufous flanks, and a white wing patch, while females are more cryptically colored in olive and buff. The name 'clicking' refers to the species' characteristic vocalizations, including sharp clicking and chattering calls used in territorial defense and pair communication. Pteruthius intermedius is typically encountered in pairs or small groups and regularly joins mixed-species bird flocks that forage through the forest interior, a common foraging strategy in diverse Asian montane bird communities. Montane forest birds of Southeast Asia face increasing pressure from deforestation, agricultural encroachment at forest margins, and climate-driven upslope habitat contraction. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by IUCN.
