About the Golden-winged Laughingthrush
The golden-winged laughingthrush is a species of bird in the laughingthrush family Leiothrichidae. The species is most closely related to the chestnut-crowned laughingthrush and has sometimes been lumped with it. The species is restricted to the southern Annamite Range in western Vietnam and southern Laos. It was discovered in 1996, and remains poorly studied due to its small, remote population and shy nature. It lives in primary montane rainforest. The species is threatened with extinction due to habitat loss caused by deforestation.
