Feeding Habits
Rufous-breasted Accentor primarily consumes invertebrates like worms and supplements its diet with small seeds, berries, and fruit. It forages with a skulking behavior on the ground, usually under bushes, favoring clumps of Viburnum or willow.
Habitat
Rufous-breasted Accentor occupies diverse montane habitats, ranging from upper limit forests dominated by birch, oak, and pine species to areas with dense rhododendron scrub. Its preferred environments include subalpine scrublands characterized by juniper, willow, Berberis, and Viburnum vegetation. During the non-breeding season, it descends to more open, scrubby areas and fallow fields, favoring habitats across the broader Himalayan region and extending into parts of China.
