The Burmese nuthatch (Sitta neglecta) also known as the neglected nuthatch is a species of bird in the family Sittidae. It is found in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. This species has been split by Rasmussen and Anderton (2005) from the chestnut-bellied nuthatch.

13 cm
Feeding Habits
Burmese Nuthatch primarily consumes insects, often found alone, paired, or in family groups. Participates in mixed-species flocks, favoring foraging in the upper tree areas, notably on trunks and branches.
Habitat
The habitat of burmese Nuthatch typically includes dry dipterocarp forests and areas with pine (Pinus) trees. It is endemic to broader regions characterized by plains and lower hills. Burmese Nuthatch favors lower elevations within the overlapping range of similar species, adapting to environments which support its nesting and foraging behaviors.
