The scaly-breasted cupwing, or scaly-breasted wren-babbler, is a very small babbler with almost no tail, about 9 cm long and 19–23 g, with olive plumage on the back and lightly scalloped on the chest. It is found in southern and eastern Asia from the Himalaya to Indochina, in subtropical moist montane forest, within which it is usually found near water (Wikipedia, general species account).
The species undertakes some altitudinal migration, moving closer to sea level in winter over some of its range. The cached account gives no breeding information (Wikipedia, general species account).
