Rusty-bellied Shortwing
Status: Near Threatened , Rare of all Shortwing and super Skulker
Justification of Red List category by Birdlife International
Recent surveys have found this species to be commoner and more widespread than was previously thought. Nevertheless, it is believed to have a moderately small population within its small range, and its numbers are suspected to be declining as a consequence of habitat loss. However, the range is not yet severely fragmented or restricted to few locations. For these reasons, the species is classified as Near Threatened.
This species was one of the Prime Target - I too was 50% on this but managed the species in Mishmi Hills with the help of Chipra & Rofic
Great birding ... Cheers ... North East Tours
