Description
The Manipur fulvetta or streak-throated fulvetta (Fulvetta manipurensis) is a bird species in the family Sylviidae. It is named for the state of Manipur in Northeast India. Like the other typical fulvettas, it was long included in the Timaliidae genus Alcippe. In addition, it was long included in F. cinereiceps as a subspecies, and the common name "streak-throated fulvetta" was applied to all these birds. The typical F. cinereiceps are now called grey-hooded fulvetta. It is found in Northeast India, Myanmar and Yunnan. Its natural habitat are temperate forests. Its status was first evaluated for the IUCN Red List in 2008, being listed as a Species of Least Concern.
