Grey-cheeked fulvetta

The grey-cheeked fulvetta or Morrison's fulvetta (Alcippe morrisonia) is a bird in the family Alcippeidae. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1863. The grey-cheeked fulvetta is part of a species complex and the nominate morrisonia is now restricted to endemic Taiwan birds, with the David's fulvetta (Alcippe davidi), Huet's fulvetta (Alcippe hueti) and Yunnan fulvetta (Alcippe fratercula) now recognised as a separate species.

Distribution
It is a year-round resident throughout Taiwan. It is found in evergreen mountain forests.

Characteristics
This 15-cm long bird has a grey head with a white eye ring and a long black eye stripe running from the bill down the sides of the neck. The upperparts are olive and the underparts are yellow.

Its call is a weak chi-chi-chu-chui. It will readily join mixed-species feeding flocks.
