Distribution Area
They are residents to three locations in Laos and 7 locations in Vietnam, also found in Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) include the DakChung Plateau, Lo Xo Pass, and Ngoc Linh. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and plantations. Although they use degraded/cleared forests, they were mostly found in secondary growth or evergreen forests. Their elevation maximum was at 2400m, with observers noting less sightings above 2200m. The minimum elevation range could not be determined properly since the site contained loss of forest habitat below 1500m, though there were sightings at 1000m.
