The rusty-cheeked scimitar babbler (Erythrogenys erythrogenys) is a species of bird in the family Timaliidae native to South-East Asia.
Subspecies

Erythrogenys erythrogenys has a number of recognized subspecies:[2]

E. e. erythrogenys (northwest Himalayas)
E. e. imberbis
E. e. haringtoni
E. e. gravivox
E. e. macclellandi
E. e. ferrugilatus (central Himalayas from Nepal to Bhutan)
E. e. imberbis (east Myanmar)
E. e. celata (east Myanmar and northwest Thailand)

Description

The species is olive-brown above, with rusty colouring on the sides of the face, head, thighs, and flanks. The belly is mostly white. Sexes are alike. The beak is long and decurved in a scimitar shape.[2]
Distribution and habitat

The rusty-cheeked scimitar babbler is found from the Himalayas to Myanmar. It inhabits subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest habitats at elevations up to 2,600 m (8,500 ft).[1]
Ecology

The bird feeds mostly on the forest floor and in low canopy, forming small groups. Food items include insects, grubs and seeds. Calls consist of a mellow, fluty whistle, a two-noted "CUE..PE...CUE..pe" call followed by single note replay by mate, guttural alarm calls and a liquid contact note. The species is generally quite noisy.[1][2]
