The rufous-capped babbler is a babbler of the family Timaliidae, occurring from the Eastern Himalayas to northern Thailand, Laos, eastern China to Vietnam and Taiwan. It is pale olive with a bright rufous crown and nape, 12cm long and weighing 7 to 12g (Wikipedia, general species account).
Edward Blyth proposed the name Stachyris ruficeps in 1847 for an olive-coloured babbler with a ferruginous crown and white throat collected in Darjeeling; it was later placed in the genus Stachyridopsis. The source read gives no habitat, diet or breeding information, and does not name Bhutan, so none is stated.
