August 8, 2017 - Maroon-backed Accentor (Prunella immaculata)

These accentors are found in temperate forests in parts of Bhutan, India, Nepal, China, and Myanmar. They eat invertebrates, seeds, and berries, usually foraging on the ground under vegetation. Breeding between May and July, they build their nests in low bushes or on the ground.
