Grey-chinned Minivet

The grey-chinned minivet is 17–19 cm long and weighs 11–17 g. The adult male has a dark grey head and mantle, a pale grey chin, an orange-yellow throat and blackish wings, while in the female these parts are bright yellow. The eyes, bill and legs are black, and the immature is similar to the female but has yellow-olive bars on its back. Its range runs from the eastern foothills of the Himalaya through north-eastern India, southern China and mainland Southeast Asia to Sumatra and Borneo (Wikipedia, general species account).

It lives in montane forest at about 1,000–2,000 m. When not breeding it forms small parties of fewer than 15 birds and sometimes large flocks of dozens, and it sometimes joins mixed-species flocks. It forages for invertebrates in the canopy, sometimes descending to tree ferns or sallying in the air, and gives a twittering call while feeding (Wikipedia, general species account).
