The rufous-capped babbler is a babbler of the family Timaliidae, pale olive with a bright rufous crown and nape, 12 cm long and 7–12 g. It occurs from the Eastern Himalaya to northern Thailand, Laos, eastern China to Vietnam and Taiwan. Edward Blyth proposed the name Stachyris ruficeps in 1847 for an olive-coloured babbler with a ferruginous crown and a white throat collected in Darjeeling; it was later placed in Stachyridopsis (Wikipedia, general species account).
