2024 June @Seethawaka

This species is endemic to southern India and Sri Lanka. Although both species have a yellow vent and can sound similar, White-browed can be distinguished by its brown face and white eyebrows. Usually occurs in pairs and tends to skulk in undergrowth. Rather noisy but uncommonly seen, listen for regular, short bursts of distinctive raucous babbling.

  2024 June @Seethawaka The first observation is at Seethawaka.  Aquamarine upperparts, crimson bill, and black patch on the forehead make this active little species unmistakable. Forages by creeping along trunks and branches, often upside down. Usually moves in groups, frequently as a member of mixed-species flocks. The song is a high-pitched chittering trill; calls like isolated fragments of song. Conservation status - least concern reference - ebird   reference - wikipedia
