About the Orange-breasted Laughingthrush
The orange-breasted laughingthrush (Garrulax annamensis) is a passerine bird in the family Leiothrichidae. It was formerly regarded as a subspecies of the spot-breasted laughingthrush (G. merulinus) but has now been split as a separate species. It is a medium-sized bird with a strong bill and legs and a fairly long tail. It is 24–25 cm long with a bill length of 25–27 mm, a wing length of 83–92 mm and a tail length of 88–100 mm. It is mostly plain brown apart from an orange stripe over the eye, a black throat and an orange breast with black streaks. It has a loud, melodious song. The spot-breasted laughingthrush is similar but has a pale throat and breast with dark spots and a pale stripe above the eye.
