Description
The mountain fulvetta (Alcippe peracensis) is a 14 to 15.5 cm long species of bird in the Alcippeidae family. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The black-browed fulvetta, Alcippe grotei, is sometimes considered to be conspecific with mountain fulvetta, but the two forms differ in morphology and vocalisations, and are separated altitudinally. Black-browed fulvetta occurs primarily below 400 m, and mountain fulvetta above 900 m. Both have a warm brown back and tail, whitish underparts, a grey face and a slate grey crown bordered below with a black line, but black-browed has brown flanks and a weaker white eyering. Mountain has a yi-yuii-uwee-uwee song, whereas black-browed's is yu-chi-chiwi-chuwoo, yu-uwit-ii-uwoo.

Feeding Habits
Mountain Fulvetta primarily feed on insects and forage in small groups, frequently associating with mixed-species flocks. Their foraging behavior involves teamwork, which may be a unique adaptation.
Habitat
The mountain Fulvetta is found in montane broadleaf evergreen forests, as well as Fokienia forests. These birds inhabit regions characterized by a richness of evergreen species, showing a preference for densely wooded areas typical of the montane forest ecosystems in broader Indochina and the Peninsular Malaysia region.
