It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. [2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.

Taxonomy

The chestnut-headed tesia was formally described by the English army officer and zoologist Edward Burton in 1836 under the binomial name Sylvia castaneocoronata. [3] The specific epithet combines the Latin castaneus meaning "chestnut-coloured" and coronatus meaning "crowned". [4] Formerly placed in the genus Tesia , a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2011 found that the chestnut-headed tesia was embedded in a clade containing members of the genus Cettia . [5] [6]

Three subspecies are recognised: [6]
