ID tip
Voice: White-crested laughingthrushes are social birds, usually in flocks of 6-12 individuals (but reportedly up to 40). These small parties can be very noisy as a leader initiates a call (typically with short syllables such as ow, u'ow or u'ah) and is answered with a chorus, in sometimes disorderly fashion.
