The Chestnut-tailed Minla is distributed from north-west India through the Himalayas to south China and southwards to the Malay Peninsula.

It is found in a variety of different forest types mainly from 1,800 to 3,750 metres where it feeds on insects, berries and seeds.

It is a small babbler with an orange crown and grey back. The wings are grey, black and orange and the tail has yellow sides. The chin is orange-yellow with black and white bars on the throat (HBW calls it the Bar-throated Minla) and the remaining underparts are greyish yellow.

There is additional information available on Avibase.
