About the Brown-winged Parrotbill

The brown-winged parrotbill (Suthora brunnea) is a parrotbill that was formerly placed in the Old World babblers (family Timaliidae) or in the Sylviidae, but has been shown by molecular genetic studies to belong to the distinct family Paradoxornithidae. The eye-ringed parrotbill (Suthora ricketti) was formerly considered to be a subspecies. It is found in China and Myanmar. Two subspecies are recognised: Suthora brunnea brunnea Anderson, 1871 – central, east Myanmar to north, northwest Yunnan (southwest China) Suthora brunnea styani Rippon, G, 1903 – Dali area (central west Yunnan in southwest China).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 15 recordings for this species: 10 CC BY-NC-SA · 5 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
