Heterophasia capistrata

RUFOUS SIBIA are attractive orange arboreal bird with blue-tinged wingtips and a black, weakly crested head. Common in foothill and montane forests, where it forages in the crowns of trees. It is found in the northern parts of the Indian sub-continent, ranging across India, Nepal & Bhutan. Social, as sibias tend to be, frequently foraging in groups both with its own species and with others. It is a vigorous, melodious singer. Listen for its song, a pleasant-sounding but unremarkable series or phrase of notes on nearly the same pitch. It feeds on berries & insects.
