Rufous-necked Laughingthrush (Pterorhinus ruficollis)  

The rufous-necked laughingthrush is actually not a thrush but a species of babbler, it is roughly 22-27 centimetres (8.7-10.6 in) in length and weighs anywhere between 51-73 grams (1.8-2.6 oz). The rufous-necked laughingthrush as its name implies has a rustic color around its neck. overall the bird is grey with a black face and its rufous neck. Due to the fact that they are non migratory birds this means that they molt very slowly which means that they look the same as young birds than as older birds. The rufous-necked laughingthrush looks very similar to a rufous-cheeked laughinthrush yet the regions where both species are found are completely different.
