Pygmy Cupwing/ Pygmy Wren-babbler
The Pygmy Cupwing or Pygmy Wren-babbler, is a species of bird in the Pnoepyga wren-babblers family, Pnoepygidae. It is found in southern and eastern Asia from the Himalayas to the Lesser Sunda Islands.
Essentially a tiny brown tennis ball, dark brown above with densely packed black-and-white scaling on the underside. It gives the impression of a tailless rodent as it makes its way furtively through dense shrubbery and leaf litter. It can be quite vocal and is jarringly loud for its size, giving single well-spaced piercing whistles on different high pitches, and occasionally an accelerating, usually rising rapid series of whistles.
