The brown parrotbill (Paradoxornis unicolor) is a

mixed species foraging flocks.[3] It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, and Nepal
.

Originally described by Brian Houghton Hodgson in the genus Hemirhynchus, this species was later moved to the genus Heteromorpha.[4] It is now usually treated as a member of the family Paradoxornithidae, where its closest relative is the three-toed parrotbill.[5] Subspecies canaster, described by Thayer and Bangs in 1912 from Hsikang, and saturatior, described by Rothschild in 1921 from Yunnan, are generally not considered valid.[6]
