This very pleasingly plumaged Leiothrix is found in the Himalayas
from Nepal to Bootan, and also in the hills of Assam. It is common
near Darjeeling, from 3,000 to 6,000 feet, being found in considerable
flocks, with a hurried and lively manner, flying from tree to tree,
alighting about the middle, and then hopping and climbing up to the
topmost branches, hunting for minute insects with a lively chirrup.
