Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush
The Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush is a large, long-tailed, thrush like bird of dense forests native to East and Southeast Asia. Note its black necklace, streaked white cheek patch, and pale band near the tip of the tail. Very similar to the Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush; note the dark eye and ‘contained’ (completely encircled) cheek patch. A shy and difficult to see well bird it is usually found in small flocks in wet lowland and hill forest, often near streams. The song is a series of loud whistles, not as long or varied as that of Hwamei.

Silver-eared Laughingthrush
The Silver-eared is an attractive medium-sized laughingthrush with a gray body, golden-yellow wings, dark face, and chestnut crown. Note the dark orangish “bib”, the color of which varies by range; northern birds have the brightest patches. The namesake silver ear patches are rather rounded & blend smoothly into the gray of the neck. Usually seen scratching around noisily in dense undergrowth, often singly, or in pairs or small flocks. They are found in montane and hill forests, as well as forest edges with dense low growth.

Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush
The Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush is a mid-sized laughingthrush, usually seen foraging on the ground and in shrubbery of hilly forests. It is brown overall, with rusty highlights on the neck and flanks, and with prominent black markings on the white breast and face. It looks similar to the slightly larger Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush, with which it often associates in mixed flocks; Lesser differs in being duller rusty overall, having a complete (rather than partial) breast band, and having minimal streaking on the cheeks. Classic laughingthrush repertoire, with a beautiful fluty, melodic song and hooting calls.
