Taxonomy and systematics

The rufous-headed parrotbill was alternatively considered as a member of the Old World babblers family, Timaliidae, or in the Sylviidae, but it actually seems to belong to the distinct family Paradoxornithidae. [2] It was formerly considered as conspecific with the white-breasted parrotbill.

Distribution and habitat

The natural habitats of the rufous-headed parrotbill are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

The spotted elachura or spotted wren-babbler is a species of passerine bird found in the forests of the eastern Himalayas and Southeast Asia. In the past it was included in the babbler genus Spelaeornis as S. formosus, but molecular phylogenetic studies in 2014 provided evidence that it was distinct from the babblers and part of a basal lineage with no other close living relatives within the passerine bird clade Passerida. This led to the creation of a new family, Elachuridae, to accommodate just one species.
