Plumbeous water redstart (Phoenicurus fuliginosus). M
Small, sturdy songbird in the family Muscicapidae.
The bird is found in Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Their preferred habitats are streams, nullahs and rivers with boulders that are shaded, as well as vegetation near riverbanks. Streams with higher populations of insects such as mayflies appear to be preferred.
They are typically found at relatively high elevations, with the ones living in the Himalayas seen between 2000 m and 4100 m. However, they tend to descend to lower altitudes during the winter.
