The rufous-headed parrotbill (Paradoxornis bakeri), or greater rufous-headed parrotbill, is a parrotbill in the family Paradoxornithidae and is found in eastern Asia from the eastern Himalayas to Indochina.
Taxonomy and systematics
The rufous-headed parrotbill was alternatively considered as a member of the Old World babblers family, Timaliidae, or in the Sylviidae, but it actually seems to belong to the distinct family Paradoxornithidae.[2] It was formerly considered as conspecific with the white-breasted parrotbill.
