White capped Water redstart (Chaimarrornis leucocephalus)


It is a small bird about 18cm in size with a White crown, black wings and rusty under parts. The tail is rusty with black tip. The bird is usually found on rocks in mountain streams and rivers. In summers it can be seen between altitudes of 1500m to 5000m. Whereas in winters it descends down to foothills and plains.

    I was in Dalhousie in June and was lucky to see a Plumbeous Water Redstart.
