Himalayan Bluetail

The brightly coloured adult male is unmistakable in range, a blazing sapphire blue with orange flanks and white throat and belly. The female is brown with a white throat, orange flanks, and pale blue rump and tail. The Himalayan Bluetail has a bright blue eyebrow and brighter, deeper blue upper parts in the male. Their song is a simple, repeated “tcher-thcew-wee!”. They breed in submontane forest up to the treeline descending in the winter, often moving into edge habitats.
