The Yunnan parrotbill (Sinosuthora ricketti) is a parrotbill in the Old World babbler family. This 10 cm long parrotbill is endemic to China , breeding in northwest Yunnan.
It was formerly considered conspecific with the brown-winged parrotbill, Sinosuthora brunnea, (sometimes the vinous-throated parrotbill, Sinosuthora webbiana), but more recent revisions have found it to be a distinct species.[1] Its behaviour is described as similar to that of vinous-throated.[2]
