Garrulax canorus
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The Chinese hwamei is a brown bird of the Asian understorey with a white eye-ring drawn out into a line behind the eye. It is one of the most prized songbirds in China, where it has been kept in cages for centuries for its powerful, varied song. That demand has emptied entire populations and has driven a considerable illegal trade.
