Maroon-backed Accentor

Prunella immaculata

Least Concern

The Maroon-backed Accentor is a small, streaked mountain songbird that keeps low in scrub, rocks, hedges, or alpine meadows of eastern Himalayan forest edges, bamboo, and rhododendron scrub. It feeds mostly on seeds and small insects, often shuffling quietly on the ground before giving a thin, musical call from cover.
