PAKHI DEKHUN PAKHI CHINUN # 774.. (Observe the Bird and recognize)... RUFOUS WINGED FULVETTA ... WATERCOLOUR...A4...2017...[ From the ref. Photo of Mr. Bipul Nandi]... The rufous-winged fulvetta (Alcippe castaneceps) is a bird species of the family Pellorneidae. Its common name is misleading, because it is not a close relative of the "typical" fulvettas, which are now in the genus Fulvetta. The black-crowned fulvetta (A. klossi) was until recently included here as a subspecies. This 11 cm long bird has a dark-streaked chestnut crown, white supercilium bron upperparts and pale underparts. The wings show a striking contrast between the bright rufous primaries and the black coverts. This is a noisy species with a rich warbled ti-du-di-du-di-du-di-du song and wheezy tsi-tsi-tsi-tsi call. It is common in evergreen montane forests above 1200 m ASL, often feeding on vertical trunks. 10–13 cm; 8–12 g. Very small olive-brown and whitish babbler with pale-streaked dark chestnut crown,
