Hab. The Himalayas, from Nepaul and Simla to Bhootan. Recorded from 

 the N. W. Provinces of India, Darjeeling, Sikkim and Simla, also Burmah ; 

 in the latter a winter visitor. It has been found on the Mooleyit Mountains in 

 Tenasserim and at Karin at 3,000 feet elevation. It is said to breed in the 

 pine regions of the Himalayas, in Nepaul and Sikkim, coming down into 

 the valleys during winter, but rarely, or never, descending into the plains of 

 India. Brooks says its note is a Thrush-like zip, and Dr. Scully that in Nepaul 

 it is always found hunting about in the bushes at from 6,000 to 7,500 feet 

 elevation.
