Description
The scarlet-faced liocichla (Liocichla ripponi) is a bird in the family Leiothrichidae. The species was recently reclassified as separate from the red-faced liocichla, although some taxonomists consider it to be conspecific. It is found in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and southern China.

Feeding Habits
Scarlet-faced Liocichla consumes a varied diet of insects, fruits, berries, and seeds. They forage alone, in pairs, or small groups, often joining mixed-species flocks. Primarily searching the undergrowth and occasionally lower trees, scarlet-faced Liocichla's unobtrusive behavior is a unique adaptation for feeding.
Habitat
The habitat of scarlet-faced Liocichla typically consists of ravines and open forested areas, with a particular affinity for bamboo jungles. These birds are also found in regions close to swamps, primarily within subtropical or tropical zones.
