Bhutan

The White-tailed Nuthatch is distributed along the Himalayas and into southern China and northern Myanmar. It is found in broad-leaved and mixed forest where it feeds mainly on insects but also on nuts and seeds.

It is generally paler than the Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch S. castanea with an indistinct white cheek and no barring on the undertail coverts. The white at the base of the tail is normally difficult to see.

There are recordings on xeno-canto and additional information is available via Avibase.
