Description

The chestnut-headed tesia (Cettia castaneocoronata) is a small insectivorous songbird formerly of the "Old World warbler" family but nowadays placed in the bush warbler family (Cettiidae). It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. The chestnut-headed tesia was formally described by the English army officer and zoologist Edward Burton in 1836 under the binomial name Sylvia castaneocoronata. The specific epithet combines the Latin castaneus meaning "chestnut-coloured" and coronatus meaning "crowned". Formerly placed in the genus Tesia, a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2011 found that the chestnut-headed tesia was embedded in a clade containing members of the genus Cettia. Three subspecies are recognised: C. c. castaneocoronata (Burton, 1836) – Himalayas and northeast India to south China and north Laos C. c. abadiei (Delacour & Jabouille, 1930) – north Vietnam C. c. ripleyi (Deignan, 1951) – Yunnan (south China)

Feeding Habits
Chestnut-headed Tesia predominantly eats spiders and various invertebrates. Often seen foraging alone or in pairs near the ground within dense vegetation, chestnut-headed Tesia is elusive but responds to calls. Exhibits unique bobbing behavior when alarmed, and rarely flies.
Habitat
The habitat of chestnut-headed Tesia typically includes the undergrowth of broadleaf forests and mixed broadleaf-coniferous forests. These birds favor dense, moist areas rich in ferns, nettles, and thorn-scrub, often located alongside streams and within damp valleys and ravines. During the non-breeding season, chestnut-headed Tesia is more commonly found in scrublands and secondary woodlands.
