The Chestnut-winged Laughing Thrush (also Laughingthrush), also called Buffy Laughingthrush,
is native to mainland China. It has bright chestnut-coloured wings and tail and bare blue eye patches.
It was previously classed as a subspecies of the similar-looking
Rusty Laughingthrush of Taiwan, which has darker underparts. It was moved from the
Garrulax genus in 2018.
Male and female have similar plumage. It takes two to gather material to build a nest.
