The grey-headed parrotbill (Paradoxornis gularis) is a parrotbill in the family Sylviidae and is found in eastern Asia from the Himalayas to Indochina and Hainan.
The grey-headed parrotbill was alternatively considered as a member of the Old World babblers ( family Timaliidae) or with the Sylviidae, but is now classified in the distinct family Paradoxornithidae by the IOC. [2] Until 2008, the black-headed parrotbill was also considered as a subspecies of the grey-headed parrotbill. [3]
The natural habitat of the grey-headed parrotbill is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
