Redbilled Leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea) A plump, brightly colored babbler of dense forest understory. The yelloworange breast and red bill are distinctive. The tail feathers have a peculiar outward curve near the tip.

The song is a somewhat disjointed series of melodious phrases; calls include harsh scolding, chattering, and a repeated “peterpeter”. Native to Asia, from the eastern China west to the Himalayas; introduced to Hawaii, Japan, Reunion Island, and parts of Europe.
