ID tip

The ashy-headed laughingthrush is a rangy bird, 23 centimetres (9 in) in length with a long floppy tail. It is rufous brown above and deep buff below, with a grey head and white throat. Like other babblers, these are noisy birds, and the characteristic laughing calls are often the best indication that they are present, since they are usually difficult to see in their preferred habitat.
