The rufous-chinned laughingthrush, Ianthocincla rufogularis, is a mid-sized laughingthrush with a black cap and band, a brown tail, greyish underparts, scale-like feathering on the upperparts, a pale buff patch between bill and eye and a rufous chin. John Gould described it in 1835, and it has six subspecies (Wikipedia, general species account).
It lives in moist lowland and montane forest along the Himalaya, including Nepal, and in Bhutan, India, Tibet and Myanmar. It was moved back to Ianthocincla after a 2018 molecular study. The source does not discuss diet, behaviour or breeding (Wikipedia, general species account).
