Black-crowned Barwing

The Black-crowned Barwing is a Near Threatened bird of montane forests in Vietnam and Laos, with bold black-and-rufous barring on the wings and tail and a distinctive black crown. It inhabits the undergrowth and mid-story of dense evergreen montane forests. Its restricted range in the mountains of the Indochina region and ongoing habitat degradation contribute to its near-threatened status.
