Grey-faced Tit-Babbler

Mixornis kelleyi

The Grey-faced Tit-babbler, scientifically known as Mixornis kelleyi, is a charming avian species belonging to the Timaliidae family. This bird is recognized by its subtle yet distinctive plumage, which is an amalgamation of earthy tones, providing excellent camouflage within its natural forest habitat.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the Grey-faced Tit-babbler, one should look for its characteristic grey face, which stands out against its otherwise brown and olive feathering. The bird is modest in size and possesses a stout structure typical of the babbler family.

Habitat

The Grey-faced Tit-babbler is a denizen of subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. These environments provide the dense foliage and rich insect life that this species thrives upon.

Distribution

This species has a relatively limited range, being found primarily in the countries of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Within these regions, it is a resident bird, meaning it does not typically migrate.

Conservation Status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Grey-faced Tit-babbler as Least Concern. This suggests that, currently, there are no immediate threats to the population levels of this species that would warrant a more urgent conservation status.

Similar Species

While there may be other babblers within its range, the Grey-faced Tit-babbler can be distinguished by its unique facial coloring and the specific subtleties of its song and behavior.

Diet and Feeding

The Grey-faced Tit-babbler is an insectivorous bird, gleaning a variety of invertebrates from the foliage in its forest habitat. Its diet is essential for maintaining the delicate balance of the ecosystem in which it resides.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.
