Short Description:

Rufous-bellied Niltava (Niltava sundara) is a small-sized bird found in Pakistan, characterized by its distinctive rufous belly contrasting with a dark upper body and a white throat. It has a short tail and a slightly curved bill.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Rufous-bellied Niltavas are primarily found in the northern regions of Pakistan, especially in the forested areas of the Himalayan foothills. They inhabit dense undergrowth and are often found near streams or damp areas.

These birds are primarily insectivorous, feeding on insects and small invertebrates found in the forest understory. They are known for their melodious calls, often heard during the breeding season. Rufous-bellied Niltavas are generally shy and elusive, preferring to stay hidden within thick vegetation. They may also display territorial behavior during the breeding season.
